5.0 out of 5 stars THE MOST CONCISE MICRO REVIEW CARDS ON THE MARKET, December 23, 2002
By Kelly Lue "schoolgirl-01" (yonkers, ny United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The first 7 cards are on the organ systems and the various microbes that infect the system. Example is the card for the Gastrointestinal System Infections: it includes a line drawing of the entire system with pins to the organs along with a list of the microbes that infect that organ and the card number of said microbe. Before each microbe section there is a dichotomous key for biochemical test reactions/antibiotic reactions and on the back of that card all the key things you need to know for the group of microbes. There are 22 cards for Gram Positive, 21 for Gram Negative, 13 cards in "other bacteria" (this includes acid-fast, spirochetes, rickettsia, and chlamydia), 26 cards for the RNA viruses, 11 cards for the DNA viruses, 9 cards for the fungi, 9 cards for protozoa, and 11 cards for helminths. The set also contains a card with a spread sheet on the the Hepatitis Virus and a card on HIV and AIDS listing clinical info and opportunistic infections. Each microbe card contains the following information: Clinical Presentation, Pathobiology, Diagnosis, Treatment, Quick Facts, and a Clinical Case Study (thats 122 medical case studies in all, better than most books on the market). The set is 140 cards total. The cards are printed on top quality heavy card stock. These cards are perfect for anyone in the Allied Health Field, Medical Laboratory Science, Microbiology, and for anyone interested in Infectious Disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Resource Out There for Med Micro for the class and the USMLE, October 16, 2005
By Steveo (med schooler) - See all my reviews
I used all the commonly recommended resources out there (Ridiculously simple, Examination and board review, bugcards, ect.) and in my opinion this is by far the best one for med micro. Not only does it help you to start thinking clinically with the case scenerios on the front of each card but each card is basically an "everything you need to know about this bug on a 5X7 card." Sure it may not fit in exactly with your school's cirriculum, but that doesn't discount the value of these cards. I used these cards both to study for the second year micro course and for the step 1 USMLE and scored a 260+.
Quite possibly the best thing about these cards is the flow charts on the front of each section, which make it very easy to remember the difficult details (such as which features/lab tests differentiate gram positive cocci vs bacilli, ect.); also the recall value of these cards is far superior to that of any other resources (which comes in handy during the shelf exams of third year).

5.0 out of 5 stars End your search for a good Step I Micro review source!, September 12, 2004
I am not a big fan of published flash cards, because they are always sparse and poorly organized. Not these little gems! There is a single card for each of the major bugs (including fungi, protozoa and helminths) and each card has a brief vignette on the front with an image of the microscopic appearance of the organism and a family tree of where the bug fits into the big picture. The back of each card gives information on clinical presentation, pathobiology, diagnosis, and treatment, as well as useful quick facts and study tips.

I found that micro was the single subject on Step I that was most difficult to locate a good study resource for. These cards ended my search, and I subsequently crushed Step I. Cheers to Microcards!
