5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference text, February 23, 2004
By A Customer
I used this book through 2 years of medical school and found it to be quite helpful. It doesn't go into a bunch on needless details, but give you what you need to know. The book is well-organized and has some excellent color photos as well. There is a quick reference section in the back which is helpful for boards when you need a quick review. It gives you the bug, the tests you would do, the path, and the drug to treat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lot of Information Given Out Pretty Fast, October 26, 2006
Notice the word 'Reviews' in the title. This series of books from Lippincott are just that. A review of the subject, in this case Microbiology. This book doesn't spend a lot of time introducing you to the basic concepts of microbiology. The third sentence in the book explains it pretty well: 'In this volume, we primarily consider the role of microorganisms - bacteris, fungi, protozoa, helminths, and viruses - in the initiation and spread of human diseases.'

I find that this book is a bit advanced for undergraduate study. It is not a general text on microbiology. As the sentence quoted above clearly says, it is oriented to diseases. But for a graduate student who needs either a rapid review of past microbiology courses, or who now needs to get up to speed in this area it is an excellent choice. In its 450 or so pages it completely covers the subject and in a fairly light, fast, well illustrated, and well summarized manner. It even has time, once in a while to insert a microbiology oriented cartoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but not as good as the biochemistry review, August 9, 2006
I bought Lippicott's microbiology review, after having WONDERFUL success with their biochemistry review text. The one fundamental difference in the text books is that there is no summary at the end of each chapter. The summaries are awesome, and without them, this review series is not nearly as helpful.
