MCQs in Microbiology & Parasitology The questions asked in the PG entrance examination are multiple choice questions. A large number of questions in microbiology are asked in the examination.
If a candidate is thorough in microbiology then he/she can easily attempt many infection-related MCQs in other subjects, e.g., surgery, medicine, paediatrics, community medicine, etc. Therefore, it is a high-scoring subject in PG entrance examinations. Most of the books available in the market deal with MCQs and answers only. No explanation of the correct and incorrect choices is given. Therefore, the candidate forgets the correct answers. This book gives full explanations of correct answers and why the other choices are wrong. This helps the candidates to remember the correct answers.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
