NEW COLOR EDITION!!! Excellent for USMLE Board Review! A brief, clear, thorough, and highly enjoyable updated approach to clinical microbiology, brimming with mnemonics, humor, summary charts and illustrations, from Ebola to AIDS to flesh-eating bacteria; to mad cow disease, hantavirus, anthrax, smallpox, botulism, Clostridium difficile diagnosis and treatment; treatment of gonorrhea in light of growing antimicrobial resistance; Tuberculosis diagnostics, drugs for treatment of latent TB infection and MDR TB; the latest antibiotics; pandemic flu, including H7N9; SARS-like coronavirus; the latest hepatitis C treatment options; the latest HIV diagnostics and approved HIV meds; Zika virus; Measles and a new chapter on the latest emerging infectious diseases and drug resistant bacteria. * What makes this world renowned, best-selling Microbiology book so unique? Our Approach has been to: Write in a conversational style for easy, rapid assimilation Include numerous, humorous illustrations only when absolutely necessary, serving as "visual memory tools" and summary charts at the end of each chapter. These can be used for "cram sessions" after the concepts have been studied in the text Concentrate more on clinical and infectious disease issues that are both interesting and vital to the actual practice of medicine Create a conceptual, organized approach to the organisms studied so the student relies less on memory and more on logical pathophysiology. This last point is CRUCIAL!!! If there were no tests that required memorization in medical school, sketched , memory-based medical study tools would be obsolete as they are ENTIRELY based on memorization, NOT understanding. This leads to a real life problem: When you need to conceptually and logically understand a patient's illness and speak to this patient or their family, a cute little sketched memory trick will not get you very far. Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple trains you early on in your medical career how to THINK, not how to memorize!

Exrta points because it's funny as well. I loved this book, it has been so helpful! Review: Must-have for med school - according to other students - I haven't started medical school, so I cannot tell just how useful this book will be. But the fact that it is recommended by students and institutions must mean it is really great. I like the table format in the book summarizing the microbes according to family. But still, I can tell there will be a massive amount of information that I have to absorb later. Book arrived without plastic wrap, but no damage.

Must-have for med school - according to other students
I haven't started medical school, so I cannot tell just how useful this book will be. But the fact that it is recommended by students and institutions must mean it is really great. I like the table format in the book summarizing the microbes according to family. But still, I can tell there will be a massive amount of information that I have to absorb later. Book arrived without plastic wrap, but no damage.

Great study tool
I bought this as a supplement for my Microbiology class at college. It is right on target for learning the vital information needed in my class. Easy to understand and very in depth.

The book is great, but the swirl design may not be a good idea
So I like the book, the book itself the contents are fantastic. However, the swirl design has its limitations, then bottom part is already peeled off and messed up the spiral structure.

Every medical professionals need this for microbio
If you have done microbiology class before, you will know the pain - many pathogens and exceptions. This would only exacerbate if you have awful professors. But with this book? Things can go way more comfortable. I am a big fan of the series in years, especially this one. They now have the colored and spiral bound version,making it more great.

Passed!
I needed to learn as much microbiology as I could in 4 weeks so I could test out of this class and get back into college. This was all I studied from and passed the test. It is very informative. The pictures helped me remember the information and the way the information was explained was (adult) humorous, but not stupid. SO glad I chose this book to use.

Entertaining
I really like the pictures here, it helps me to understand the lessons more because the drawing and figures made it less complicated.

Good basic information
This is a good learning aid for exams the use of colour enhances it and the spiral hinding allows for frequency of use. The use of either phrase or picture allows a second reference point for remembering a key fact

Buon libro
Il libro è fatto bene, molto utile per lo studio di microbiologia, ricco di mnemotecniche. L’articolo è però rovinato, come si può vedere in foto. La copertina è sgualcita e sporca. Da rivedere l’imballaggio/la spedizione.

Antidote of micro🔥
The book delivers it’s concepts with a punch, makes the subject seem so easy . This can’t be used as the sole reference book for MBBS but it’s a great add on book, great for others who are interested in micro. The book is full of mnemonics and pictures, tables are given at the end of every chapter, seriously they are money guys... essential for last minute revision .
