Microbiology and Infection : A Clinical Core Text For Integrated Curricula With Self-Assessment

This series of books reflects the trend towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the must knowcore information presented in a synoptic style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents.

The series covers the entire curriculum in approximately twelve discipline-based volumes. This volumes presents an integrated coverage of microbiology and infectious disease. Despite the use of problem- and/or topic-based curricula students still respond to the security of a well-ordered presentation of the basic information by traditional discipline.

"These books are brilliant for taking on the road out to peripheral hospital placements, and cover all the essentials (plus a little bit more) on all the key topics. They have plenty of information to help explain those topics and subjects you see on the wards/in theatre...When time is a little short, and you simply need fast hard facts in an easy to read yet thorough way these books are simply perfect. I have no doubt in recommending them to my friends or any other medical student."
