 An excellent introduction to the subject, 2001-02-27
This book covers a great deal of ground of importance to modern bacteriology and pathogenicity. As such it provides a superb introduction to the field and is ideally suited to building a lecture course around. For anyone with an interest in microbial pathogens it is an excellent starting point, giving many references and a clear, concise explanations.

Bergey's Manual comes in two very different forms, each good, 1998-10-16
Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology is a four-volume set covering virtually every known species of bacterium; articles on each species and extensive articles on higher taxa describe a great deal of value to the undergraduate microbiology student or teacher, often including hard to find information about culture methods and ecological roles. The high cost and heavy format of the four large hardbound volumes make them unsuitable for use in the laboratory, however. Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology is a lower-cost, paperback companion volume containing very brief genus descriptions but extensive tables of biochemical and growth charateristics necessary for the laboratory identification of bacteria. Student labs should include these paperback volumes near every workstation; once students have identified their bacteria, a trip to a departmental library or reading room to learn more about the organism from the four-volume set is in order. Together, these volumes are indispensible for any well-equipped microbiology program.

Excellent text...., 2002-06-20
This is an excellent text for all those trainee MLSO's / BMS's working toward state registration in the field of medical microbiology.The best feature of the book is the short minidefinitions, great for quick reference in the laboratory and containing plenty of relevant information. From gram reactions to basic identification tests this text has it all. Each chapter is informative, but to the point. One down side is the huge amount of information on sugar fermentation and other less common practice biochemical tests, it can bog you down.

 The first Methods in Mycobacterial molecular biology., 1998-11-03
Mycobacteria protocols edited by Parish and Stoker provide the first mycobacterial method booklet since the introduction of molecular biology and bionformatics to the field of mycobacterial research. Although this collection of protocolos is too broad as a source of protocolos to the clinical microbiologist or the bench basic scientist it provides an excelent source of start up points, references and knowladge to poeple working in the field of mycobacteria.
