Color Atlas of Medical Microbiology

I received the book very quickly and in good condition, as described. I highly recommend this book seller.

The pictures in this atlas were very clear. It made microbiology more fun to learn. The pictures of bacteria, viruses and fungi complimented my preparation for the test. I also found Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi to be an excellent source for question test preparation for my university exams.

This book gives the beginner useful informations in the field of microbiology. Although this book dose not include everything, it's impressive tables and figures makes itself as a useful tool for the students engaged in microbiology. Easy approach is another feature of this book. I recommand that those who are interesting in the field of microbiology should get one book like this one.

A nice short compact medical microbiology text. I didn't use it much for the theory, rather I used it for the diagrams and especially the photographs. The photographs were good. I particulary enjoyed the bacteriology section. Many bacterial culture plates were demonstrated in photograph form. Though it covered the most common types of diseases, I wish it would of covered the more esoteric diseases that are commonly placed on medical board examinations. Nonetheless, the book is useful and worth the price if your looking for decent photos demonstrating laboratory diagnostics and some standard photo's of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

i used this atlas everyday in clinical microbiology lab. every page in the atlas is printed on high glossy quality paper. there are numerious color photos detailing how each microbe responds to certain diagnostic tests preformed in the lab. in my class we were given an unknown microbe and had to run tests on it to determine what the organism was and hand in are report - i could not have kept up if it wasn't for this book. it is very compact in size (not information) so it is very handy to have around in the lab while you run the tests and you can compare your results right on the spot. it fits right into the pocket of your lab coat. the price of the book is well worth it and i used it more than the lab book the college insisted that i purchase. FYI - i am pursuing a masters in microbiology and with the assistance of this book i got an a in this course.
