    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 hospital where my wife is doing MLT clinicals had this book. She was so impressed with it, she wanted one of her own. It is up-to-date with many color and B/W pictures of the most recent micro technologies and procedures. East to read and understand.

    This book is very hard to understand. It is not written for the average student.

    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.
