A successful pedagogical endeavor: this pocket atlas, in 320 pages and 500 photos, covers everything a student needs to know about microbiology. It clearly explains everything one needs to understand about human pathogens and how to identify the bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites essential to human medicine. The chapters are always written in a standardized format: a description of the main characteristics of the germ studied, an explanation of the principal diseases caused by the germ, and diagnostic methods. This concise and comprehensive atlas is particularly appealing due to: – its format, – its 500 illustrations, 400 of which are in color, – the wealth and clarity of the tables that succinctly present the essential information about a germ and the diseases it causes, – the explanation of modern diagnostic methods and all the stains used, making this book a valuable and effective tool for exam preparation and review. This book is primarily aimed at medical and biology students, but it will also be of interest to doctors and biologists concerned with updating their knowledge of modern microbiology.
