- Integrates practical & important theoretical concepts of Microbiology
- Every chapter divided in a tutorial, practical exercise, spotters and assignments
- Contains easy to reproduce diagrams during the practical exams
- Important case-wise Viva questions at the end of each chapter
- Sample cases at the end of each chapter for understanding the correlation
It would be a 'complete practical book' with tutorials at the beginning of each chapter helping the students understand the concepts.
