This is the thoroughly revised, rewritten and updated edition of the book which has been written and designed in accordance with the latest CBME Guidelines. In a first level medical microbiology programme, a strict clinical system-wise study of the microbes would not only hinder the understanding and concept building of microbiology in the medical students but may imprint erroneous perceptions, as most microbes know no anatomical borders.
