Publisher Synopsis
'This is a delightful book providing exactly what the title says it does...The careful thought that has gone into the preparation of these diagrams...will be greatly appreciated by undergraduates and postgraduates alike.' Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy '...the concise style makes it easy to follow, very readable' Final Year medical student, University of Glasgow "For the depth of information - certainly as a third year - required, this book will more than suffice, and is a welcome addition to my bookshelf" Sphincter - Liverpool Medical Students Society Journal "I for one will use the excellent diagrams as the basis for some of my student tutorials. This is a useful textbook that neatly places medical microbiology in its clinical context." The Royal College of Pathologists Bulletin "Whilst this publication is slim and inexpensive, its merit is great. The text is easily read, very accessible and will be a valuable addition to all medical students' personal collection. The book should be strongly recommended to students as a supplement to a core text." Dr Emma Honey, Specialist Registrar, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary Published Reviews of the Second Edition "This is a useful book if you want a general summary of what microbiology involves." 5th Year Medical Student, University of Liverpool Sphincter, June 2004 Read more...
