This book is a practical manual in Microbiology for 2nd year MBBS students. There is no standard book for practical exams in the market. This book will be a student’s companion in their Microbiology practical class where they can read it, do their experiments as per directions given in book, and do their assignments. It would be a ‘complete practical book’ with tutorials at the beginning of each chapter helping the students understand the concepts. Integrates practical & important theoretical concepts of Microbiology Every chapter divided in a tutorial, practical exercise, spotters and assignments Contains easy to reproduce diagrams during the practical exams Important case-wise Viva questions at the end of each chapter Sample cases at the end of each chapter for understanding the correlation

Infectious diseases constitute a major portion of illnesses worldwide, and microbiology is a main pillar of clinical infectious disease practice. Knowledge of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites is integral to practice in clinical infectious disease. Practical Medical Microbiology is an invaluable reference for medical microbiology instructors. Drs. Berkowitz and Jerris are experienced teachers in the fields of infectious diseases and microbiology respectively, and provide expert insight into microorganisms that affect patients, how organisms are related to each other, and how they are isolated and identified in the microbiology laboratory. The text also is designed to provide clinicians the knowledge they need to facilitate communication with the microbiologist in their laboratory. The text takes a systematic approach to medical microbiology, describing taxonomy of human pathogens and consideration of organisms within specific taxonomic groups. The text tackles main clinical infections caused by different organisms, and supplements these descriptions with clinical case studies, in order to demonstrate the effects of various organisms. Practical Medical Microbiology is an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and researchers studying clinical microbiology, medical microbiology, infectious diseases, and virology.

This revised edition of Practical Microbiology is a concise and practical guide for students of Microbiology. It is a valuable practical resource for the students of both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, besides the research students in the laboratory of Microbiology, Pathology, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. Comprising of more than 230 experiments, the book commences with underpinnings for laboratory work and proceeds to detail on microscopes, laboratory reagents, dissections, preparation of permanent slides, mountings and so on, providing a comprehensive treatment of the subject. The book has been written in lucid and easily understandable language for students. Viva-voce exercises have been provided at the end of each chapter.

The new edition of this comprehensive guide provides students with the latest information and advances in medical microbiology.
