Textbook of Microbiology & Immunology (Paperback)

This book presents a comprehensive coverage of basic and clinical microbiology, including immunology, bacteriology, virology, and mycology, in a clear and succinct manner. The text includes morphological features and identification of each organism along with the pathogenesis of diseases, clinical manifestations, diagnostic laboratory tests, treatment, and prevention and control of resulting infections along with most recent advances in the field.
Key Features
Clinical approach to study of microbiology described in most lucid and easy to understand language
Highly structured and clear division of text under standardized headings
Clinical case studies at the end of most chapters – As per the requirement of MCI in line with practical application of basic subjects.
Contains most recent and up-to-date information in the subject
Excellent photographs and line diagrams helps in quick understanding of the subject
Contains current material on H1N1 virus, HIV, hepatitis, SARS, bird flu virus and other newer agents which cause infections
Virulence factors for each species have been explained in detail which no other book does; summarizing the points well in a table format which is helpful during student revisions/PGMEE preparations.
