Essentials of Microbiology (Organism Based), 2/E for MBBS, BDS and Microbiology Postgraduates | Unique Organism-Based Approach with Bacteriology, Virology, Parasitology and Mycology

Essentials of Microbiology - Organism Based, 2/E offers a concise yet comprehensive approach to medical microbiology through systematic organism-based learning. Authored by Dr. Apurba S Sastry and Dr. Sandhya Bhat, the book integrates microbiological fundamentals, laboratory diagnosis, antimicrobial therapy, clinical correlation, and infection prevention and control. This completely revised and expanded second edition (approximately 670 pages) includes an expanded general microbiology section, an enhanced immunology section, strengthened systematic bacteriology, and updated virology, parasitology and mycology sections covering emerging infections and modern diagnostic methods. New chapters cover opportunistic infections, post-transplant infections, bioterrorism, zoonotic infections, and transfusion-transmitted infections, alongside detailed chapters on healthcare-associated infections, antimicrobial stewardship, and biomedical waste management. A "Dr. Wise" AI chatbot access code is bundled with the book for additional interactive learning. Who This Book Is For: MBBS Students: the unique organism-based approach builds understanding, retention and clinical correlation for the microbiology curriculum. BDS Students: concise, examination-oriented microbiology coverage relevant to the dental curriculum. Microbiology Postgraduates (MD/DNB): expanded coverage of emerging and re-emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and infection control for postgraduate depth. Medical Laboratory Technology Students: laboratory diagnosis integrated throughout alongside organism-based clinical correlation.
