Detailed description of pathogenesis
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
The book is written in detail. If you are interested to be a microbiologist, you must buy this book. But the content is too much for other medical students, and is not useful clinically. Nevertheless, this book is interesting.
