5.0 out of 5 stars the perfect book for case studies in microbiology, December 20, 2001

This review is from: The Microbe Files: Cases in Microbiology for the Undergraduate (with answers) (Paperback)

The case studies are seperatered by organ system. This is the first book I have ever used that has done this. When taking a microbiology course the pathogenic microbes are presented by organ system so this format suits the course perfectly. The case studies are so much fun to do it's like a puzzle and you end up studying without even knowing that you've been studying. This book is also great for anyone who just loves reading about disease causing microbes anyone who has read the coming plague should buy this book and have some fun with their new found knowledge and do some medical problem solving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helped me with microbiology class., June 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Microbe Files: Cases in Microbiology for the Undergraduate (with answers) (Paperback)

I liked this book because it showed the kinds of diseases and conditions bacteria, viruses, and parasites could cause. This served me well for my college microbiology classes. The material is fun to learn. After reading this book, I know longer look at eating sushi the same way again! This is because if a sushi chef is not certified, sushi can be served with parasites in them. For test preparation, I used Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers isbn;0971999635.
This study guide really helped me to prepare for the type of questions that were given to me on the test. I give both books five stars.
