This book, Textbook of Microbiology, deals with microbiology – an inherently valuable and useful discipline that offers an intimate view of an invisible world. The amount of information on this subject is so vast that microbiology books have generally followed one of the two main tracks. The traditional books seem to be exhaustive of microbiologic facts, and are too detailed to be read by typical medical students, who is trying to keep up with several other subjects simultaneously. Although, the text was designed to teach undergraduate and postgraduate medical students, it should also serve as a review tool for individuals who are taking medical examinations and persons working in health-related professions, physicians and infectious disease scientists. This textbook is divided into seven sections, based on the major disciplines included within microbiology: General Bacteriology, Immunology, Systemic Bacteriology, Virology, Medical Mycology, Miscellaneous and Diagnostic Medical Microbiology. The chapters themselves are comprehensive yet free of unnecessary detail and provide the reader with a framework for understanding.
