This book is particularly suited to students who need a good introduction to medical microbiology, and also to those working in healthcare professions who may use this book as a quick reference material.

Clear and detailed pictures can be found on the photographic plates, which are another bonus.

As a recently graduated student soon to enter the field of medical microbiology I have found this book an invaluable revision and reference guide. Both being concise enough but also with enough detail to satisfy.
