pretty good study book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I found this book really helpful but I am not sure how up to date it is.. also kind of strange that the pictures in the chapters are in black/white but then have color copies in a photo section in the middle
Excellent product and over the top customer service

This vendor highly recommended, especially for students in the Southeast. I am a Georgian, and they are close by in North Carolina. These people went out of their way to expedite delivery. The microbiology text book they advertised as "Used,like new." I thought I'd made a mistake purchasing a used book, but when it arrived (just in time for classes), there was no writing in the worksheet sections. The price was very reasonable. I have recommended this vendor to my fellow students in the med lab program at North GA Tech.
Great for Medical Laboratory Technologists

I am a Medical Technologist who is retraining in the microbiology lab. This book has been a lifesaver for me. It's a concise and practical review. Just the right amount of information. It's fairly easy to read and includes many practical lab procedures as well as theory. Also the information is up-to-date. I highly recommend this book to hospital/medical lab people.
Finally a micro text that makes sense
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This text puts all the information from the each chapter into concise, easy to follow flow charts and tables. At the end of each chapter are study questions, standard lab procedures, and descriptions of media used in the micro lab, what is in the media, and why it is in it. The specimen flow charts were very heplful. For each common specimens received in the lab, the flow chart will tell you step by step what to do to ID the organism based on Gram stain, biochemical reactions, colony morphology, etc. It was nice to have all that info in one place instead of having to turn back and forth through several chapters. Wonderful text for anyone starting out working in a micro lab.
