“This book is truly a great resource that can and should be used in basic science courses, with each clinical rotation, and again for board review. I wish this book had been available for me over the past 3 years!”

-Kevin Olson, 4th year medical student, Virginia Commonwealth University

“Case Files: Microbiology is easy and fun to read. The case discussions are very clinically relevant. The clinical correlations will prepare students well for making the transition from basic science to clinical rotations. Overall, the level of detail is perfect.”
