MicroBiology Today It was a pleasure and nostalgic experience to review the second edition of this book, a text that has been a cornerstone for trainees in medical microbiology over the last 14 years. The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists ... the replacement of tables by new bold 'protocols' has improved the readability and clarity of layout of each chapter. The Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists This is an excellent book, containing the essential basic knowledge for trainees in medical microbiology. I would also recommend it to established consultants as a useful reference source and a means for quickly updating themselves on the practical aspects of diagnostic bacteriology.
