Book excerpt: An understanding of microbiology is essential for both medical students and newly qualified doctors, and is key knowledge for a working doctor. Learning Microbiology through Clinical Consultation introduces the subject with a wealth of life-like case scenarios, each linked with the relevant microbiology. Spanning 14 categories of infection, the cases within the book allow the reader to listen-in on clinical consultations with patients exhibiting an array of symptoms. Each case then describes the examination and the specimen taking techniques. The results of the samples taken in the story provide a clear link to the more technical information on microbiology which is then discussed. The structure of the book is laid out for easy navigation and has clear case-story headings to enable 'just in time learning' between patients, as well as 'just in case learning' when preparing for exams. Learning Microbiology through Clinical Consultation is a highly accessible text that describes the basic science of microbiology within the practice setting in an insightful and informative way. The material is presented in an integrated fashion and is therefore an ideal text for medical students on a systems-based or problem-based course, or for the newly qualified doctor looking to consolidate their knowledge.

Appropriate self-assessment material. Only covers core, so student knows the whole book is essential. Includes key objectives. Contains simple and memorable diagrams for reproduction in exams. Ideal for learning as well as examination review, specifically trying to stimulate the student into assessing his/her own knowledge. The books in the series both complement other available major texts, but also contain enough material to stand in the own right. Provides examination practice. Part of co-ordinated series. Contents refined to reflect 'core knowledge' Major revision of self-assessment material to match change in exam styles (more Extended Matching Questions and OSC-style questions)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook was designed to help students during their study of the extensive discipline of clinical microbiology. It can also serve as a practical companion for physicians in many fields, providing basic information related to the diagnostics of the most important causes of infectious diseases. This book is unique in that it was written by medical students for medical students. Its core originated under the leadership of Doc. MVDr. Oto Melter, Ph.D., who wrote some of the chapters, structured information and took illustrative photographs. Most chapters, though, were written by a team of students from the 2nd Medical School, Charles University, led by Rute Castelhano, while Shenali Amaratunga edited the text linguistically. The authors believe that the original photo-documentation and diagrams can help students better understand the topics covered. The textbook also includes case studies for students to practice basic knowledge in the field.
