"As an introduction to medical microbiology for students, this book is excellent. The updated edition justifies replacing the previous editions.  The writing is excellent and the subject material is organized very well. The book is very well illustrated with clear, easy-to-understand color graphics." -Eric Brown, PhD (University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston) Doody's Review Service
