Editorial Reviews

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."

-Eric Brown, PhD (University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston) Doody's Review Service

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2022
The book edition and content were what I expected, the only problem is the cover of the book and shipping. I’m guessing it got knocked around in transit because the top of the book’s spine is Zsmushed in. No other issues after +2 months of use though, so I just reinforced that part of the spine with tape and called it a day.
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2023
Overall, this is a good clinical microbiology book, and biology majors, medical students can use it well. However, there should have been 2-3 more actual clinical microbiologists contributing to it, then most of the mistakes could have been avoided. Just to mention a few:
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

This book came sealed in plastic but with an awful smell almost like curry. The smell is so overpowering and awful that I can’t even use it with out feeling sick.

Frequento scienze biologiche e ho acquistato questo libro su consiglio della mia professoressa. Mi sono trovata benissimo per preparare l'esame, è un manuale completo ed esplicativo, ma non esageratamente difficile.
Consiglio vivamente!!
