| I got this book for a required class. It is an easy to read and understand micro book. It would be a good idea to read it even if you're not in the medical field. It will tell you a lot about practical things you can use in everyday life. Very interesting. |

| 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.
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!
<br />
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.
<br />
<br />If you want to destroy Step 1, this should be your Micro source. |

| This book is written by two of the professors at my school. Both are very good lecturers. They text is clear and concise and can serve as your primary textbook for most medical microbiology classes provided you use a supplemental image source. The book is done in an outline/prose format with bold words signifying important pathogenesis concepts. There are review questions at the end of each section encourage integrative board style thinking. The pathogenesis cartoons are simple to understand and professionally drawn with an emphasis on clarity. Essentially this is what the BRS microbio book should be. I am extremely glad I own this. There are no images of the organisms themselves; you will need another source for that (most likely your powerpoint lecture notes). The SHELF exam doesn't contain images, but if you study this book you should do very well.
<br />
<br />SHELF Tip: If you know this book and the microbiology section of the FIRST AID book you will ace your SHELF. |
