5-0 out of 5 stars Book came just as expected.
Book arrived brand new at my apartment still in the plastic wrap. There were no surprises, and I am very pleased. Author is very thorough on the topics presented. Full color pages help for a better understanding.

2-0 out of 5 stars Poorley Organized, poorley written
User:medical student, allopathic USA school
Time of use:2 years

This book's presentation of microbiology is disorganized and often hard to follow. Particularly bad is the way each microbe family/viral family is laid out.There is little consistency from bug to bug...headers and sentences like the following are typical:

"Pathogenesis and Immunity:
Only the pathogenesis of rabies virus infection is discussed here"

The 'immunity' discussion is a sentence in a table on a following page...

This book would be an excellent book for an survey course in undergraduate micro.It is completely unacceptable at the professional level and in particular to the medical student, where it is important to absorb a great quantity of information in a little time.At my school I hear the professors constantly say "it is poor, but it is better than the alternative."

One would be better served to invest in Cecil's text of medicine.Though dense, at least the writing is such that one can skim quickly and learn the high points of each bug.

4-0 out of 5 stars Good book
This is a very good book for medicine students. I'm in the second year and has been very usefull. But this book dont justify changing your 5 edition on it. Almost all the chapters are equal, with just some boxes with clinical cases, and there is no answers to the questions of the end of the chapters, although the answers are clearly in the text, the old one, or at least the one that i saw in the library, had all the answers whith some complement to the text.

2-0 out of 5 stars Outdated and too bulky for step 1
As a medical student, our Micro course required this book because it had USMLE style questions in it and no one would buy the massive medical micro book that wasn't a review. Okay, so this book is actually out of date on a lot of subjects and doesn't even give accurate information on the pathogenesis, especially the virology and mycology sections. If you are reviewing for the USMLE step 1, this book is WAY to cumbersome to read in the 4-7 weeks that you have to review. If you need a quick brush up, Google "South Carolina Microbiology" and you should find a website that will provide more than enough information for the Step. i.e., save your money, look at the pathmicro site from SC, and buy q-bank!

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Immunology Section! Must read for Step 1
I only read the 90 or so pages of this book that covered Immunology as per the recommendation of many other students that had used it solely for that. It is by far the best immunology text I have come across, especially for Step 1 review (on account of the short length of the immuno section) and I own at least 3 immuno books including High Yield, Case Files, and some Lange review of Micro/Immuno book that I do not think are nearly as good. If you are thinking about buying an Immunology book to review for Step 1 or even to use during a med school immunology course, look no further. I highly recommend this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars Superior to "Made Ridiculously Simple" micro review book
My Micro professor writes questions for the USMLE Step 1. I was not doing well on his exams, but this book helped shoot my exam score up by 14%! I had used the "Made Ridiculously Simple" micro review book, but I found it too superficial. It helps to know the "why"; I could never just memorize and regurgitate for an exam. This book is well updated, colored photos are great, well organized and thorough but not to endless detail. *One weak point: the immunology section is disappointing, but I would still recommend it for the micro part.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book
I had Dr. Chamberlain as my infectious Disease instructor. He is able to make a difficult subject both interesting and entertaining. The format of the book allows for a complete understanding of how infectious microbes effect different organ systems. Together with the easy to undestand text and fantastic color pictures, it makes for one of the best medical microbiology book on the market. Do yourself a favor and do not pass up this book...you will not regret it.

2-0 out of 5 stars Great questions for microbiology but need topic-specific organization
The best way I've found to learn material is to do problems. Hence I purchased this book to complement the course lecture / notes offering at my school. The questions are very good, many are vignette-based which is similar to the way our exams are written. In terms of the material covered and the difficulty of the questions, I would give this a 4 or a 5.

However the book has only four chapters - Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Parasitology. My school teaches material based on modules - Cardiovascular, Pulmonoary, GI, etc. Hence, trying to find the appropriate questions to to in the book is a nightmare. For instance, if I want to review my pulmonary learning, I first go to the Bacteriology question, read the intro to EACH question, and determine if it's something I'm supposed to know about (ie is it an URTI, LRTI, pneumonia, typical/atypical tuberculosis, etc). I have to do this for each of the four sections (well, for Pulmonary at least Parasitology is not applicable). As you can imagine this can be a painstaking process, especially since I, like most medical students, am already pressed for time.

This would not be such a problem if there was a list somewhere - either in the book or on the web - listing questions based on topic. For instance, with Pulmonary - Bacteriology q4, 9, 20, 28, 34, 41, 49, 55, 121; Virology - 54, 76, 100; Mycology - 17, 21, 22, 25.

Alas, such a list does not exist, But, as far as I know, this is the best / only question book available, so it will have to suffice. Again, if material were organized better or if question numbers were listed somewhere based on topic, I would give this book a 4 if not 5. But because of the difficulty in finding appropriate questions, I'm giving it a 3-.

Product Description

No other text clarifies the link between microbiology and human disease states like Sherris Medical Microbiology

For more than a quarter-of-a-century Sherris has been unmatched in its ability to help you understand the nature of microorganisms and their role in the maintenance of health or causation of disease. Through a dynamic, engaging approach, this classic text gives you a solid grasp of the significance of etiologic agents, the pathogenic processes, epidemiology, and the basis of therapy for infectious diseases.

The fifth edition has been completely revised to reflect this rapidly-moving field’s latest developments and includes a host of learning aids including clinical cases, USMLE-type questions, marginal notes, and extensive new full-color art.

Features

  • 66 chapters that simply and clearly describe the strains of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that can bring about infectious diseases
  • Core sections on viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases open with new chapters detailing basic biology, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial agents and feature a consistent presentation covering Organism (structure, replication, genetics, etc.), Disease (epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunity), and Clinical Aspects (manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, prevention)
  • Explanations of host-parasite relationship, dynamics of infection, and host response
  • USMLE-style questions and a clinical case conclude each chapter on the major viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic diseases
  • All tables, photographs, and illustrations are now in full color
  • Clinical Capsules cover the essence of the disease(s) caused by major pathogens
  • Marginal Notes highlight key points within a paragraph to facilitate review

4-0 out of 5 stars Good book
As a first year medical student I've really enjoyed this book.I think it's tough to make an all inclusive book on microbiology but Sherris does a pretty good job.I think it's got the right balance of clinical and micro information for a med student.I love the little summary lines they put in the margins- it helps you pick out the most important stuff and skim through stuff you already know or don't need to know.Very readable- not too dense, not to superficial.I was a microbiology major in college and had a lot of books that went into much more depth on stuff like molecular biology and had very little clinical information and so, again, for medical students and board prep, I think this has the right combination of material.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great book, but they left out a lot
Don't throw away your Fourth Edition! The Fifth Edition has a lot to recommend it: much better artwork, more sensible organization of basic theory and microbe-specific detail, up-to-date pathophysiology and therapies, etc. In the Preface the editors state that much material has been "trimmed" to keep this edition the same size as the previous one. They should have opted for a bigger book. First, they left out all the references; not a single one is to be found. This was a valuable feature of the Fourth Edition, and pointed to much relevant material for further study. A cryptic excuse for this is that the emphasis is on the "text narrative", not reference material. That's nonsense; all good medical textbooks have references.

There has been a turnaround of authors in this multi-authored book. The new guys seem to have ignored several changes in the taxonomy of bacteria and viruses, such as the designation of Flavivirus as a Family and the split of Papovavirus into Papillomavirus and Polyomavirus. The new tables still contain the old errors, such as asserting that Hepatitis B is a Family when in fact it belongs to the Hepadnaviridae Family. There are numerous little errors like this that have been carried over from the Fourth Edition; apparently, the new authors cut-and-pasted what looked good without examining it for accuracy.

The stuff that was "trimmed" was not "older and less important information", as stated in the Preface. The editors apparently have figured out that USMLE-obsessed students are more interested in answering test questions than understanding anything, so a lot of viral and bacterial anatomy has been cut. We can now view these entities as more of a black box than something with important innards.

Some of the ambiguous or unclear explanations of the Fourth Edition have been carried over to the Fifth, such as the description of the One Step Growth Experiment, which would be unintelligible were it not for Wikipedia.

I cannot find an errata page for any Lange textbook. This is a Good Thing, since we can now rest assured that there are never any errors in their books. Too bad there isn't a contact form for sending suggestions for improvement for the next edition; this is a really good book, but apparently they don't need the likes of you and me to make it even better. Don't bother sending suggestions to Customer Service; it will be filed away by someone unfamiliar with the word "enzyme".

The Preface references a web site which purportedly contains an "online learning center" with lots of extra stuff, like "additional cases, questions, and study aids". As of this writing, it is vaporware, and I've complained to the publisher. In fact, Lange doesn't even have a reference to this (Fifth) edition up yet. Maybe all this will be in place by the time you read this.

If you don't have the Fourth Edition, you can probably get it very cheap, and I suggest you do so (in addition to buying the Fifth Edition) for the references and the enhanced technical detail.

    5-0 out of 5 stars very easy to read, lots of examples, bright pictures and diagrams
    i like this book a lot. it has bright pictures and diagrams, gives lots of good examples to make things easier to understand, and is not too wordy. this is a book i will actually read.

    5-0 out of 5 stars top notch medical micro book
    I've written reviews for several textbooks, and it is not uncommon for me to rant extensively about high prices and the use of color solely for the purpose of making a book appear flashy.In the case of Mims Medical Microbiology though, I have nothing but good things to say.This is an example of a book that uses quite a bit of color, but does so with good purpose.Moreover the color is not overdone, and it is generally used effectively to draw the reader's attention to important concepts or to make illustrations more clear, or realistic.While the price of the book is not trivial, this is still an excellent bargain when one considers the quality of the content.The text is is clearly written and well organized for learning.I highly recommend it for those looking for excellent introductory materials on medical microbiology.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Wise Choice for Learning Infectious Diseases
    This text book is outstanding in terms of clear pictures and detailed descriptions. It exhibits numerous color photos which help remember the clinical signs and appearances of common infectious diseases. On the other hand, the text excellently outlines and explains the underlying theory and treatments. This book takes a modern approach to teach Microbiology by introducing the contents in a system based mannar. This is very different from the traditional way of teaching the subject in which the materials are delivered species by species. I think this way is more clinically relevant and thus, suits the needs of health care students.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A Necessary Resource for any Microbiologist
    Medical Microbiology would be an excellent reference book for any microbiologist.It contains general information about any bacterium you can imagine as well as overviews of the diseases various bacteria cause.Symptoms, complications, diagnosis, and treatment options are covered indetail.The book also contains wonderfully vivid pictorial accounts of thebacteria and their various modes of pathogenicity.A fascinating,well-organized text of sophisticated microbiology!

    5-0 out of 5 stars surprisingly easy to understand microbiology with you!!!
    At least a very "biologically correct" textbook of microbial diseases, I'm going to translate it only for fun, for me and for my italian entourage; and so many beautiful pictures that I never seen before in a similar text in Italy.I'd like to translate it for publication if possible.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Impressed
    I bought this as a supplement to my Microbiology class and the textbook that was required for the class. This book definitely clarifies things and conveniently organizes the material well. I read this and reference this more than my GIANT textbook! I am very satisfied with it.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book!
    Put it this way. I finished med-school, Internal Medicine residency and have been a hospitalist for three years. I'm going back to training in Infectious Diseases for a fellowship. I have been through bunch of books in my life and can say that this one is a darn good review of Microbiology. The proper topics have in depth review, but it is not too meticulous that you would get lost in bench research type topics. I'm certainly speaking from a clinicians perspective with ID intentions, but in general I have quite an interest in microbiology. I generally recommend it for sure. Great book!

    5-0 out of 5 stars very good
    This purchase is very smoothly and the quality of the book is pretty good! Thanks!

    5-0 out of 5 stars Great Microbiology and Immunology Book
    I bought this book for my microbiology course and for review for the boards.Before this book, I read Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple.While Ridiculous was an entertaining read, but the silliness kinda got in the way of information and the explanations were generally lacking.This book is well organized and the depth is great.I finally figured out what the A and B subunits on the cholera exotoxin are and the fact that that mechanism is not exclusive to cholera.The immunology chapters in the book are equally as good.Ever have any questions about complement or hypersensitivities?Well there is a chapter dedicated to each (albeit, only 3-5 pages).Finally the appendix is very high yield.There are charts that organize organisms by geographic region, foods for food poisoning, animals, and vectors.There is also a section that has a quick review of all the organisms covered in the book.There's a lot of information, so it might take longer to get through than a rapid review book, but started earlier it should be high yield.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Good for what it is
    This is a very good medical micro book for someone who needs a reasonable complete and accessible reference.It's not a definitive micro book.It's not "Clinical Microbiology made ridiculously simple" either.I find micro really painful as a general rule.I'd never sit down and read this book from cover to cover.That said when I need to know about a particular bug this book generally tells me everything I'd want to know in an organized and understandable fashion. ...

    4-0 out of 5 stars SHERRIS IS MORE THAN JUST AN INTRODUCTORY TEXT, BUT....
    Concise and clinically relevant, Sherris Medical Microbiology is more than just an introductory text. It harbours abundant information that will interest anyone with a career in healthcare. The book paid total tribute to all aspects of pathogenic bacteriology, mycology, virology, parasitology, and immunology. Simple and clear explanations were used throughout.
    However, at this level, one would be disappointed that Sherris has lost touch with being up-to-date. As a result, the excellent (4th edition of) Medical Microbiology by Murray, et al, has relegated Sherris' efforts to that of a second fiddle. It offers a better value for money; and boasts of the most up-to-date information currently on sale.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Read this book first!
    I've tried many other books on microbiology and on infectious diseases which cover bacteria and virology. This book by far exceeds those. It is taught in a clear manner for the beginner student. But this book has awealth of information for more advanced students to learn from. The bookcomes complete with annoted notes on the sides of the pages, giving youbasic notes on what the paragraph is discusses, excellent for quickreviewing! This is by far the best microbiology book I have encounteredwhen faced with exactly what I want to learn about - bacteriology,virology, parasitiology and concepts of immunology. It also covers thestrains of viruses and bacteria - as well as other parasites that can bringabout [infectious] disease. I've read other books of this type which costalmost double this book and haven't gotten anything close to what can bedelivered from this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone with aninterest of bacteriology, virology or infectious diseases. Whether you're astudent of just someone with an interest in learning more about thesesubjects.

    5-0 out of 5 stars A superb introductory text for medical students.
    This third edition of Sherris Medical Microbiology serves a badly needed role in basic science medical education. The vast array of prokaryotic and eukaryotic infecting organisms can be baffling to the novice practitioner, and this text serves as agood foundation on which to build more specialized insight. For a quick list of strong and weak points, scroll to the end of the review.

    The first sevenchapters discuss the biology of the prokaryotic cell and the virus, with an obvious focus on areas of cell structure and viral physiology that are affected by antibiotic and antiviral therapies.Biochemists will find this area thin, but it is not intended to provide specific, in-depth information of the subjects.

    The following three chapters discuss host-parasite relationships, and this area is one of the text's true strong points. The dynamics of infection are the meat of the forces that govern whether an organism will overpower its host or be destroyed.The text does a strong job of laying out the fundamental mechanisms of bacterial colonization and host reponse.

    Chapters eleven through fourteen cover spread and control of infection, and here the book could be stronger. There are excellent discussions of the mechanisms of antimicrobial chemistry, and of host resistance, but little to guide a novice with the most important aspect of antimicrobial therapy: how to select an agent. There are really only two tables of suggested regimens, which although they could be memorized, are no better than, say, a copy of Sanford in the coat pocket. What medical students need most is an understanding of how to pick an agent, and there just isn't enough here to assist a student in how to prioritize one's options.

    Forty-four chapters of bug-by-bug descriptions of all clinically signifiacnt pathogens follow. These discussions are all reasonably thorough and complete, although occasional tidbits are missing, such as whether rabies infects rodents or not, and some specific bacterium-disease relationships are omitted (e.g. Chromobacter violaceum and chronic granulomatous disease).

    The book's other real strength and utility to medical students lies in the final twenty-three chapters, which discuss syndromes of infcetion. Here the studnet can learn what a cellulitis or a pneumonia really is, from a microbial point of view. Unfortunately, again, antibiotic choices are not well laid out for the reader.

    In short, this is an excellent text for medical students, but not for house officers. The basic science is well described, but practical guidelines are scanty.

    Strengths:
    1. Strong discussion of host-parasite relationships, and infectious control.
    2. Useful discussion of disease syndromes.
    3. large, easy-to-read pages, with margin notes to quickly locate material of interest.

    Weaknesses:
    1. Weak on practical matters, such as antibiotic selection

    Suggestions for next edition:

    Add a section on antibiotic selection, and empiric approach to infection. ... Read more

    (ISBN: 0971999635)
    The second book I got on Amazon.com also.I recommend the first book as a great summary to getting to the essential details of microbiology.I advise getting the second book to help prepare for the type of questions to know for the USLME.

    4-0 out of 5 stars Complete Medical Microbiology Review Book..
    'Medical Microbiology and Immunology: Examination and Board review' is more than a good book. The organization and contents of the book are great. Summaries of the most important microorganisms at the end of each section of the book make it excellent for quick reviewing what one has just read. Also, the book includes unique chapters like normal flora, laboratory diagnosis, and vaccines which are really helpful. The immunology section extensively provide a solit understanding of the immune mechanisms, using illustrative figures and mnemonics. Moreover, the MCQs at the end of the book, along with the clinical cases, emphasize on the important areas in medical microbiology.

    One more thing I have to complement is the use of bold font in the book; this made skimming chapters quickly before a final microbiology exam a 'stressless' event, and gave confidence.

    To be neutral in my review, the book lacks a good mycology section (You need another book for mycology).

    4-0 out of 5 stars good for USMLE step1
    I bought this product to help with usmle step 1, very good flashcards, they are very helpful as a supplement to your current review book plan. I would not recommend as a stand alone study tool.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Awesome!
    This resource covers every bug you are likely to see on the USMLE. The USMLE-style questions are a helpful way of organizing the most likely and classic presentation of different bugs, however unlikely you are to see that perfect presentation in your clinic. It is also helpful that they organize bugs based on laboratory findings, which I'm sure will be useful when you one day hear that you have a Gram +, Cat + Cocci growing in your culture.

    Some might say that making cards help them study, annotating and highlighting a base set of cards is faster and just as effective for me. Learning the names, then putting them on a huge chart with their lab findings in a hierarchy and the bug's characteristics below helped me organize the information, and the cards helped to make sure I knew it all forwards and backwards.

    5-0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful
    Microcards contain helpful organization schematics, clinical vignettes, and all you need to know about the bugs. Really great as a supplemental micro study tool.

    4-0 out of 5 stars very pleased
    I am very pleased overall with these cards. I have only used the bacteriology section so far, but for the most part they correlate very well with my class information. And if there is something they left out, the cards are big enough to add it in. I think they will come in handy when I study for the boards next year.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Not really "flash cards"
    When I think of "flash cards" I think on one side there is a word, or a question, and I've got to figure out what is on the other side. I had bought these flash cards thinking there would be a clinical scenario on one side, with the bug on the other side with some important pertinent information.

    Instead, the bug's name was on BOTH sides (precluding you from guessing if you wanted to quiz yourself). This is essentially a review book that was placed on nice flash cards. These are NOT good for review, but might be good if you are first learning the material. Some of the flow charts are nice, but nothing you can't find in another review book.

    This is not a good resource if you just read the Micro section in First Aid and you want to see how much you've retained. I would not suggest these for USMLE Step 1 Studying. ... Read more

Their great for final review's before your exam to help boost your confidence and help you remember stuff you might have forgotten or couldn't remember. For this book, i didn't really have time to use the immunology section much b/c I was pressed for time, but i found the microbiology section useful. Not a bad buy at all.
