About this title

Review

"This is essential and highly recommended reading for medical students and doctors in training, and a volume which clinicians, public health workers and professions allied to Medicine, and dare I suggest Medical Microbiologists, will wish to have readily at hand." Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease, March 2010

''The book does exactly what it sets out to do in providing non-infection specialists with a quick and easy source of essential microbiological information. The text is well laid out, with a consistent use of subheadings and enough figures and pictures to illustrate key points. The book’s success is its very wide coverage of medical microbiology topics (including mycology, parasitology, vaccines)in sufficient detail for the non-specialist to ensure that key facts are transmitted. An impressive feat.''
