The index in the back of the book is not complete. I emailed the editor with no response. The reading is enjoyable but when I try to look up a subject for research, the indexed item is not found on the page it says. Disappointed

When I read this book, Micro is funny. It's not boring like before. It detail but a good book.

Clinical Microbiology made rediculously simple is a down to earth explanation of virtually all classes of microbes affecting humans. Viruses, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, fungus, parasites and worms, and prions are all covered from contraction to incubation to illness to analysis to control.
I would not be without this book and will continue to order each subsequent Edition.

I Also Recommend:
It is a great book. Good for those who are taking USMLE or Boards. A little detailed but good pictures for memorizing.

Funny diagrams, concise information, makes a relatively boring subject palatable.

I bought it and skimmed it. It is a dumbed down version of micro. The brief sections are to brief and the humor is inane. If you are older than 18 the humor is idiotic.

Explains most of the items very clear with a good humor.Often repeats the discription of some facts through the book,that makes issues to be remembered faster and 'subcontiously'.
