Book Description

Publication Date: June 2003 | ISBN-10: 078174427X | ISBN-13: 978-0781744270

This set of 250 double-sided cards is intended to accompany Johnson's BRS Microbiology and Immunology, Fourth Edition. The cards consist of a straightforward series of questions and answers intended to help students enrolled in basic science courses and studying for USMLE Step One. Utilising a short phrase that triggers the recall of an answer, each card asks students to commit a key point to memory before moving on to the next card. In addition, they offer a unique advantage to the student by emphasising the important details, rather than giving equal weight to all information about an organism. FEATURES: - The front of every card has a notable clinical description or characteristic unique to or indicative of a particular microbial pathogen. - The back of every card is divided into two parts: the top part identities the microbial pathogen, and the bottom part denote further significant clinical or descriptive aspects. - Unique, quick, and easy to use. Allows student to cover significant points in an entire section in a matter of minutes by selecting only relevant information

These are REAL flash cards. One question, one answer (with a brief comment). Once you've gone through First Aid, these cards are excellent for reviewing the bugs. Although there are no color photos, I liked the systematic clip art for bacteria, nematodes, viruses, etc. The simple graphics helped me remember where the named species belonged in the grand scheme of micro flora. Since the cards are designed in a question/answer format, you can use them to quiz your study group (or yourself) when you just can't read anymore.

Everything you could need to get micro questions correct - with space on the cards to annotate if there was anything else you wanted to remember about the bug (I added the abx to treat infxn). Would recommend to anyone!
