Medical Microbiology Summary

Medical Microbiology by Steven Myint

The aim of Medical Microbiology Made Memorable, another great addition to the Made Memorable series, is to provide a core text of medical microbiology for medical students. It will also be useful for biological science courses. This book provides accessible and appropriate information that the reader knows is essential core information. As a result, it is considerably shorter than many of the established major textbooks, which are now too detailed for modern courses, and less expensive. Each topic is presented as a double-page spread, roughly covering the content that might be found in one lecture. The left-hand page contains the descriptive text and the right-hand page has diagrams, flow charts etc. Throughout the book, emphasis is on the clinical, with only the absolute minimum of systematic microbiology.
