as seen in picture
It was the same as seen in the picture. It was way cheaper than what my college sells it for. I would recommend it!

Must Have Aid
A great photographic book that walks through many types of microorganisms commonly encountered both in the laboratory setting and in real life sampling. Aids in quick identification of specimens with accurate descriptions of even smells.

Helpful
I considered not purchasing this to accompany my Microbiology laboratory class. I'm glad I chose to buy it. It has very helpful pictures (that I could not find online) and is thorough in its explanations. No regrets!

Mircobiology Atlas
The book is very helpful especially in looking at slides of bacteria that you've no idea of what it looks like.

Slightly misleading
It was loose leaf and some of the holes are torn, therefore it shouldn't have been sold at full price or in excellent condition. ... Read more

Foundations in Microbiology Basic Principles 7th Ed. International Student Edition
My rating of the item is specifically for the item.The seller was great.The International edition is a good book for my class but being that I thought it was the same as the original hardbound book, I was disappointed.The International Student Edition is missing 10 full chapters from the original, giving it only 17 Chapters rather than the full 27.Still a good book.

Textbook purchase

The textbook was received quickly after ordering.It was in excellent shape and I would order from this vendor again.

seller doesn't know what's goin on
had trouble with seller. email her several times and never got back to me. when she finally did. she said she was not aware of the "sale" so i went ahead and ordered another book elsewhere and asked seller for a refund. She said "NO... she already sent it out." but how can u send a product out if you haven't even got paid and know nothing about it?recived book from seller... didn't open it and returned book to seller.

very happy
this book arrived quickly.I was very happy to see that it was virtually a brand new book.It ws clean and crisp, just the way that I like them!I will definately make more purchases.

Poor Packaging
The book arrived in about 3 weeks, within the time frame they said. However they could have used more care in the packaging. When I received the book, two corners and the spine that was on the same end were bent, and did not quite resemble a new book. There wasn't any packing material inside the box, how did they think the book could survive the journey all the way from London, eventhough I was told that it'd be shipped out from the United States. ...

Great for Micro courses, not so much for USMLE
Great book. I am only giving it four stars because it's not in board-style question format. For that, just get the Pre-Test Microbiology book and you're covered in all directions. This book is more helpful for testing your knowledge of the characteristics of the microbes, for example when being tested in a Microbiology course. Can't see myself using this for the USMLE (although there are some helpful mnemonics and memory devices/tips highlighted throughout with a USMLE icon) but so far has been helpful in my Micro course (medical school). If I can just remember to use it!

Never arrived!
A month after the book was due to arrive, I still have not received it.I have contacted the seller twice without any response.I do not recommend buying from this seller.

LOVE BUYING FROM AMAZON AND ITS VENDORS
i BUY VERY OFTEN FROM aMAZON VENDORS.I TRUST THEM TO DELIVER, AND THEY DID IT AGAIN!

Great, concise book
I hate memorizing details.This book is perfect for students like myself who don't enjoy endlessly memorizing random details.It has a great question prompt (with the answer across the way on the page) format to facilitate learning and memorization.Very high yield.

Microbiology Recall
I am horrible at reviews, so bear with me. This is a great book.I used it in school and I now use it at work in my microbiology lab.I work in clinical microbiology and I have access to many micro books in my lab.This book in particular is used so often by my co-workers and myself that it never gets dusty.The organisms are easy to find with the contents and the index.The descriptions for each are excellent containing a colony morphology as well as gram stain description, patient symptoms and possible infections that the microbe could cause.It is easy to read and contains some color photographs of the organism itself, or of the patient symptoms for those who may not be familiar to them.There are some main biochemicals included in the organism description which help with identification.It is basically a review of things, not complete, but it has all of the main things to help jump start your brain and start diagnosis or to just help a student to remember certain facts or characteristics about microbes.I highly recommend this book to students studying microbiology as well as those involved in clinical microbiology. ...

Micro Lab
I think that the seller had an accurate discription and it was sent in a timely fashion.

very good
this is a rather extensive lab notebook. well written and contains a lot of extra information about the procedures that may not be found in a lab book itself. also contains appendices in the back on various equipment use like spectrophotometer and membrane filters.

Brand new!
This book arrived right on time, and was brand new as the website claimed it would be.Perfect condition.The book is full of interesting experiments in Microbiology with vibrant colors and detail.

Best science textbook I have ever read
This book has now become my gold standard for science textbooks.It is a pleasure to read and the online resource for the book is a great complement and very intuitive.Prior to Micro, I hadn't had a college science class since 1983 and even then, it was only one class.I was a bit apprehensive about this course but the book couldn't be better.I aced the class and loved the subject.Both were a pleasant surprise for me, and I credit this excellent text.

Great service. This book was in great condition, as promised, and it was shipped in a timely fashion.

Bought it for class
I bought this for a micro class, and it was helpful.Easy to use with lots of pictures.I'm surely not a great judge of micro books, but this one was helpful for me.

Microbiology
Good book. Information was easy to follow. But the condition I received it in was terrible. It was advertised as "good" but had writing and marks all over it from head to toe.

Lousy book
This book is very poorly written. This book doesn't define terms, doesn't bother to explain things, and just goes into incredible detail on things that leave the reader lost. I've heard it said that it's for a graduate audience. That's no excuse.

really detailed book
I was assigned this book in college.It is definitely intense.However, it's intense in a positive way.I have always found microbiology to be one of the most interesting subjects of science.I have always been fascinated by parasites and bacteria.If you're assigned this book in micro class in college--definitely read this book.I also found Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi to be an excellent study guide for test prep.

Too much info
Extremely detailed, this book covers much more than MICROBIOLOGY. You can find a complete course of GENETICS within it as an example!
This is a usefull book for undergrad's but there is no chance of being able to finish all of it in an undergraduate course in MICRO.
It just covers everything and tries to squees all the info within its pages...
I hope you will have fun studying it though... ... Read more

BRS books
Purchased it.It's a good book although everyone makes their judgment on how much it helps them.Some people will like the BRS and some won't.But it's not a sham by any means.

Poorly organized
Micro Made Simple is a much better book.This can't be used for much more than a quick reference because everything is spread out way too much.Too hard to study for a class or Step 1.

Not on par with the BRS series
I was very disappointed with this BRS.I have collected most BRS's for MS-1s and have been impressed with the thorough but concise manner in which information is conveyed.
In contrast, micro is outdated, redundant, disorganized and generally not useful.
The one high point of this book is that the immuno section is good.It helped me greatly with our half semester immuno course.Otherwise I would have given it only 1 star.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend a better resource.

Good review, great questions
This book has covers all the necessary topics, including immunology.But the best part is that it has a total of 416 questions!!This is a great source of practice questions for the USMLE.Still, it could use more pictures and diagrams.Just for the questions its worth the money.

Must have for Med School and USMLE
This book is the best micro book out there.It presents the key factors of the major infectious diseases and is a must have for medical school.I'm so happy I randomly stumbled on it.There is a little section on each case they call rationale, which is golden and it start with a wide range of potential bugs and eliminate the middle men with detail explanations.I love this book..

Best Micro book
great book.this book is great for class or board prep.well thought out and well organized this is the micro book you must buy.don't waste your time reading other ones for when it comes to step 1 this book has the most bang for your buck.In addition to the wonderful textbook examples of classic presentations of the various bugs, there is great supplemental material to be found in the books appendixes of general concepts and even pharmacology.you can't go wrong in prepping for class tests or the boards.seriously, give it a try, read it, learn it, and it will help you immensely. I am constantly finding this book more useful and informative than the micro book my school requires.Do your brain a favor and read this book.

Worth every cent
As a student preparing for Step 1 of the medical boards this is a must read, no-brainer, hands down.The systems based approach style prepares you for the complexity that the USMLE and the COMLEX will test.The authors have done a wonderful job providing interdisciplinary insight to make the hard diagnosis.The piece is well written and illustrated to provide the most 'high yield' information needed to CRUSH the boards.After reading this book, I felt very comfortable with microbiology (I had ZERO microbiology background and still walked away refreshed).From soup to nuts this is the best money invested for the BUGS of medicine!

This was my Micro Professor
Dr. Nath has finally decided to publish the Microbiology Step 1 review that he gave his students for years.His review, in addition to First Aid were the ONLY sources I used to review Micro for Step 1 and I aced that portion of the exam.

If you want to destroy Step 1, this should be your Micro source.

Looks like the best Micro text out there!
I wish I had more than three days until Step 1 so I could read this great book cover to cover. The layout is great including the appendices that cover general Micro tests and concepts. While it doesn't have the goofy mnemonics of ...Ridiculously Simple, it is MUCH more Boards focused.

The photos of cultures, tests and infections; introductory clinical cases; differential diagnoses; and thorough descriptions of the pathophysiology are second to none. I borrowed a preview copy from my Micro Prof and don't want to give it up! :-) ... Read more

very easy to read, lots of examples, bright pictures and diagrams
i like this book a lot. it has bright pictures and diagrams, gives lots of good examples to make things easier to understand, and is not too wordy. this is a book i will actually read.

top notch medical micro book
I've written reviews for several textbooks, and it is not uncommon for me to rant extensively about high prices and the use of color solely for the purpose of making a book appear flashy.In the case of Mims Medical Microbiology though, I have nothing but good things to say.This is an example of a book that uses quite a bit of color, but does so with good purpose.Moreover the color is not overdone, and it is generally used effectively to draw the reader's attention to important concepts or to make illustrations more clear, or realistic.While the price of the book is not trivial, this is still an excellent bargain when one considers the quality of the content.The text is is clearly written and well organized for learning.I highly recommend it for those looking for excellent introductory materials on medical microbiology.

Wise Choice for Learning Infectious Diseases
This text book is outstanding in terms of clear pictures and detailed descriptions. It exhibits numerous color photos which help remember the clinical signs and appearances of common infectious diseases. On the other hand, the text excellently outlines and explains the underlying theory and treatments. This book takes a modern approach to teach Microbiology by introducing the contents in a system based mannar. This is very different from the traditional way of teaching the subject in which the materials are delivered species by species. I think this way is more clinically relevant and thus, suits the needs of health care students.

A Necessary Resource for any Microbiologist
Medical Microbiology would be an excellent reference book for any microbiologist.It contains general information about any bacterium you can imagine as well as overviews of the diseases various bacteria cause.Symptoms, complications, diagnosis, and treatment options are covered indetail.The book also contains wonderfully vivid pictorial accounts of thebacteria and their various modes of pathogenicity.A fascinating,well-organized text of sophisticated microbiology!

surprisingly easy to understand microbiology with you!!!
At least a very "biologically correct" textbook of microbial diseases, I'm going to translate it only for fun, for me and for my italian entourage; and so many beautiful pictures that I never seen before in a similar text in Italy.I'd like to translate it for publication if possible.
