5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough informative textbook of pathogenic microbiology!
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
Excellent informative textbook of pathogenic microbiology, up to date, every kind of bacteria, fungus, and parasite that causes disease, and how to identify them. Majority of the book is devoted to bacteria, includes rarely-seen opportunistic pathogens, as well as common ones. Has chapters on media, safety,etc, as well as each kind of bacteria seen clinically; a particularly helpful feature is the section that is organized according to diseases of body systems such as "Upper & Lower Respiratory Tract Infections," "Genital Infections and Sexually Transmitted Diseases," "Infections in Special Populations" (Malignancy, Fetal/Neonates, AIDS,Diabetes etc), "Skin & Soft Tissue Infections," etc. Many photos of disease processes in real people, which aids in recognizing infections clinically. I bought it for a class, but I intend to keep it because it is well-written, interesting, and highly useful.

Recurved this book in excellent condition in a timely manner. I found that the images are pretty and insightful and the information will be relevant for a while. A resource that was recommended to me by my proffs even for the ASCLS board exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Clinical Microbiology Study Aid.
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014
Verified Purchase
I rented this book twice for 2 different classes. I should have bought it and I plan to buy it now. It is a very resource to review a large range of microbiology lab techniques, organisms and concepts. It is detailed enough to help you understand and has very good pictures and charts that are easy to follow. This should be used as a supplement for anyone studying for the ASCP exam or any other national exam for microbiology. I have several microbiology texts, but I keep referring back to this text because of the simple way of explaining.

The writing is not as technical as most other microbiology texts, so it keeps the concepts relevant to the reader.

The second most useful textbook for my Medical Laboratory Technology Program. Goes into enough detail to cover what needs to be covered in a MLT program. Written in plain english that is easy to understand. It is an expensive textbook, but excellent.

I needed this textbook for a college course in microbiology. I was roughly 100 dollars cheaper here then in the campus bookstore. It's pretty good, the text is easy to understand and it includes many pictures of the microbes as well as the disease states that they cause.
