Review
"As an introduction to medical microbiology for students, this book is excellent. The updated edition justifies replacing the previous editions. The writing is excellent and the subject material is organized very well. The book is very well illustrated with clear, easy-to-understand color graphics."

1. The book is several years behind practice, focuses on culture methods, while largely ignoring molecular methods, and barely mentioning sequencing, metagenomics (e.g., p199 stating NNATs are less sensitive than culture is a questionable statement at minimum), references are pooled at the end of each chapter, not throughout the text.
2. For several diseases, the epidemiology section does not mention actual statistics, therefore the relevance of the disease is hard to assess (eg, p214).
3. It has ridiculous typos (eg Diagnosis section, p217)
And the list could go on. I appreciate the efforts, but this could have been a much better book with more expertise and oversight
