 Rating:  - Perfect introduction to microbioA must for any med student who doesn't have a strong microbio background. I wish I had this book a year ago! Rating: - so far so goodMicrobiology has always been one of my weaker subjects so I thought this would be really helpful.

It helped me out a lot, i recommend this to everyone trying to learn microbiology.
