5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great
Great service. This book was in great condition, as promised, and it was shipped in a timely fashion.

5-0 out of 5 stars Microbiology: A Clinical Approach
I am just starting the textbook, but I have Dr. Strelkauskas, one of the authors, as my professor.He has many years of experience with microbiology in a clinical setting.Dr. S has transformed this book into what nursing students need to know and understand specifically to help them with their future careers. So far the book is easy to read and understand. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

1-0 out of 5 stars 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.

2-0 out of 5 stars 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In contrast, micro is outdated, redundant, disorganized and generally not useful.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.

4-0 out of 5 stars 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.

2-0 out of 5 stars truly useless book
i just took the nbme shelf exam and i must say without reservation that this book was not very good.look to other review books if you want to study for the shelf or for the boards. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Outdated and too bulky for step 1
As a medical student, our Micro course required this book because it had USMLE style questions in it and no one would buy the massive medical micro book that wasn't a review. Okay, so this book is actually out of date on a lot of subjects and doesn't even give accurate information on the pathogenesis, especially the virology and mycology sections. If you are reviewing for the USMLE step 1, this book is WAY to cumbersome to read in the 4-7 weeks that you have to review. If you need a quick brush up, Google "South Carolina Microbiology" and you should find a website that will provide more than enough information for the Step. i.e., save your money, look at the pathmicro site from SC, and buy q-bank!

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Immunology Section! Must read for Step 1
I only read the 90 or so pages of this book that covered Immunology as per the recommendation of many other students that had used it solely for that. It is by far the best immunology text I have come across, especially for Step 1 review (on account of the short length of the immuno section) and I own at least 3 immuno books including High Yield, Case Files, and some Lange review of Micro/Immuno book that I do not think are nearly as good. If you are thinking about buying an Immunology book to review for Step 1 or even to use during a med school immunology course, look no further. I highly recommend this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Superior to "Made Ridiculously Simple" micro review book
My Micro professor writes questions for the USMLE Step 1. I was not doing well on his exams, but this book helped shoot my exam score up by 14%! I had used the "Made Ridiculously Simple" micro review book, but I found it too superficial. It helps to know the "why"; I could never just memorize and regurgitate for an exam. This book is well updated, colored photos are great, well organized and thorough but not to endless detail. *One weak point: the immunology section is disappointing, but I would still recommend it for the micro part.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
I had Dr. Chamberlain as my infectious Disease instructor. He is able to make a difficult subject both interesting and entertaining. The format of the book allows for a complete understanding of how infectious microbes effect different organ systems. Together with the easy to undestand text and fantastic color pictures, it makes for one of the best medical microbiology book on the market. Do yourself a favor and do not pass up this book...you will not regret it.

4-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction book to Food Microbiology
As a practicing food microbiologist for the last six years, I find this book by Montville and Matthews very helpful when dealing with basic inquiries on food microbiology. It is a good book to discuss with lab assistants and those who have little knowledge of what food microbiology is all about especially in the food processing industry where a lot of supervisors and managers do not have comprehensive understanding of food microbiology.

Good review book with great online question bank.I am a huge fan of the Rapid Review series!!

5-0 out of 5 stars Another very good Rapid Review book
The more and more I look into Rapid Review, the more I realize how great their series really is (NOT just things written by Dr. Goljan).The book is written very well and things flow very easily.This is of course a review book, and should be used along with your course material and also to study for the USMLE Step 1 exam.

First Aid gives this book an "A" for Micro and Immuno, and I definitely agree.Clinical Micro Made Ridiculously Simple is far too long for boards review.The charts CMMRS provides ARE GOOD, but its too much to read if you didn't do so along with your course material.

So, lets get to the point.This is a really fast book to move through.It has highlighted words inside bullet points that make reading each chapter easy after you have already read the chapter once.The experienced student will find this book to be a quick, concise review that is not bogged down in detail or words.However, there is a down side to moving at this pace.A beginner will feel lost and confused.What looks like a quick review to an advanced reader will become a memorization of bullet points if you don't have a little background to begin with.The questions that are provided are excellent and board worthy.However, they are not found at the end of each chapter.A couple of full length tests are at the end of the book, but you will not be able to practice after finishing a chapter.Online access, which comes with the book for free, does break up the questions a little more, but not into chapters.You really won't be able to practice questions until you have all of the book read, or you will need to filter through questions to find the ones that you can answer (an awful waist of time).Still, if you are trying to decide between BRS and this one, pick this one.You will be happier with the well organized easy to follow outline that isn't bogged down in details, and unfortunately you will find BRS immuno or micro just as difficult for a beginner.Before using this book, I used parham immuno and Microbio made ridiculously simple.It would benefit you to use these books (or at least ridiculously simple) before trying to master this one or in tandom.

3-0 out of 5 stars mediocre review book
I did not find this book too helpful... especially since I've never taken Immunology before. I ended up purchasing the Kuby Immunology textbook which is much better (also more costly).

This may be a good book for someone who is looking for a book to review concepts before Board exams. But even then... I'd probably prefer BRS or First Aid to this book.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Review of Micro
This is a fairly well-written review of micro for the Boards. However, this would not be my first choice for studying micro- I would recommend instead to use Micro Made Ridiculously Simple and the Kaplan microbiology.
One of the good features in this book that I like in comparison to the BRS is the onine questions which sevre well for a quick kill review. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Out of date
It has some good general information, but is out of date in several major ways. Does not include any information regarding Domains, poor job describing charactoristics defing bacteria.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very good reference for microbiology
I studied this book for my undergraduate microbiology class.It helped because it got to the point was nice and concise.It focused on some important topics.It is easy to understand and keeps your attention.I also used the following which is on amazon:
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers by Patrick Leonardi
The latter book was very good and a must buy because it helped me to get very good grades on my microbiology tests. Plus, it helped to eliminate some of the surprise questions that my teacher through on the test.I would defintely recommend both books for any undergraduate student taking a microbiology class.Both books are 5 stars. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

4-0 out of 5 stars 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.

5-0 out of 5 stars 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!

5-0 out of 5 stars 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.

Microbiology is part of the core curriculum in surgical technology. It may be presented as a separate course in a two-year program or integrated into a variety of courses in a one-year program. Typically microbiology is taught by a member of the surgical technology program. This text is a comprehensive treatment of the disease-causing organisms that may present with a surgical patient or develop post-surgery as an acquired infection. The text addresses the specific needs of the surgical technologist in maintaining aseptic technique and caring for surgical patients before, during, and after surgery. ... Read more

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

4-0 out of 5 stars 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.
