Essentials of Microbiology for Postgraduates (Vol-2): Systematic Bacteriology | Comprehensive MD/DNB Reference with 1000+ Figures, 500+ Tables and AMR Updates | Clinical Microbiologists: 1

Essentials of Microbiology for Postgraduates, Volume 2: Systematic Bacteriology is a comprehensive postgraduate reference covering every major bacterial group encountered in clinical practice. Written exclusively for postgraduate microbiology training, this volume is structured across five sections - gram-positive and gram-negative cocci, gram-positive bacilli, gram-negative bacilli, anaerobic bacteria, and other groups of bacteria - spanning 32 chapters and over 1,200 pages. This is more than a textbook: with over 1,000 figures (schematic pathogenesis diagrams alongside real microscopy and culture photographs from the author's own department) and more than 500 comparative tables, it functions as a working bacteriology atlas alongside a reference text. Every chapter follows the same disciplined structure - taxonomy and classification (updated to current NCBI Taxonomy and Genome Taxonomy Database nomenclature), pathogenesis, epidemiology (including India-specific data from the National Health Profile and IDSP), clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The standard international texts are referenced throughout - Mandell, Harrison, Bailey & Scott's, Koneman's, Topley & Wilson's, Mackie & McCartney, Gillespie's, Murray's (ASM), and the Wadsworth Anaerobic Bacteriology Manual - while keeping the presentation concise and exam-ready. A dedicated antimicrobial-resistance discussion appears in every chapter, covering resistance mechanisms, detection methods, and current AMR status in India, referenced against CLSI updates and EUCAST guidelines. The concise, bulleted, to-the-point format and separate highlighted review boxes carry over from the publisher's popular MBBS microbiology titles, so postgraduates can move between deep reference reading and quick review without switching books. Who This Book Is For: MD/DNB Microbiology Postgraduates: a core reference for systematic bacteriology through postgraduate training, structured to support both day-to-day clinical microbiology work and thesis/dissertation reading. Clinical Microbiologists and Mycologists: a bench-side and desk reference for taxonomy, diagnostic algorithms, and current AMR patterns and detection methods for bacterial pathogens. Why This Book Helps: Replaces multiple imported references with one India-priced volume: consolidates content otherwise spread across Mandell, Harrison, Bailey & Scott's, Koneman's, and Topley & Wilson's into a single systematic-bacteriology reference. Builds a visual diagnostic vocabulary: over 1,000 figures pair real microscopy/culture photographs with schematic pathogenesis diagrams, so postgraduates can recognize what they will actually see on the bench. Keeps AMR guidance current and India-relevant: every chapter's resistance discussion is referenced against CLSI and EUCAST updates plus current AMR status in India, not generic global figures alone. Speeds up comparison-heavy learning: over 500 tables let postgraduates compare species, biochemical reactions, and diagnostic methods at a glance instead of re-reading dense prose. Keeps taxonomy current: nomenclature is updated to the latest NCBI Taxonomy and Genome Taxonomy Database standards, including recent name changes (e.g. Borrelia burgdorferi to Borreliella burgdorferi). Key Features: Over 1,000 figures, including original microscopy and culture photographs from the author's own department - effectively a bacteriology atlas. Over 500 comparative tables covering species differentiation, biochemical reactions, and diagnostic methods. Dedicated antimicrobial resistance mechanism, detection, and current India-status discussion in every chapter, referenced to CLSI and EUCAST. 32 chapters across 5 systematic sections, from gram-positive/negative cocci and bacilli through anaerobes, spirochetes, rickettsiae, chlamydia, and mycoplasma. Taxonomy updated to current NCBI Taxonomy and Genome Taxonomy Database nomenclature.
