Practical text book for diagnostic microbiology by Dr. Barbara Schmidt (Germany)  5 Stars
March 08, 2007
I really think this is a great book. I am a medical doctor who wants to finish her specialisation in virology, microbiology and environmental hygiene. This book really covers the practical techniques to identify different microorganisms. You finally understand which steps are taken, the flow-charts are excellent. I have not found a similar book in the German literature.

The book that you want by Chih Y. Chi (Taiwan) 5 Stars
May 27, 2003
Although this book is not as comprehensive as Manual of clinical microbiology edited by Murray, it is an excellent textbook for the beginner in the field of microbiology. The color photographies are in good quality and numerous, which are wonderful tools for the readers. In general, I recommand this book should be buy by any one who has interest in the microbiology.

Mahon and Manuselis - the best of both worlds 5 Stars
June 21, 2000
I was so pleased to find the second edition of Mahon and Manuselis because it addresses weaknesses of other texts we have used recently with senior level clinical laboratory science students. M & M find a good balance between an organism oriented approach and a body site/culture type orientation. We found the 10th ed of Bailey and Scott's text to be strong in the latter but not the former while Koneman is the reverse, and far too research oriented for this level of student. The book reads well; illustrations and photos are terrific. I'm a stickler for a good index and this one is great! From an educator's perspective it has all the essentials: objectives, practice questions with answers, chapter outlines, and case studies that add a nice clinical touch. It is inviting to read by use of color and organization. I have adopted it for next year and can't wait for our students' reactions.
