Abstract
Completely revised to correlate to Murray’s Medical Microbiology, 8th Edition, these beautifully illustrated, clinically focused flash cards by Ken S. Rosenthal, PhD, cover the essential microbiology, immunology, and infectious diseases concepts you need to know for course exams and the USMLE Step 1. Perfect for individual or group study, they’re ideal for quickly mastering must-know information in this challenging field.
- Exquisite full-color illustrations depict microbial organisms, the clinical appearances of their related diseases, and available treatment options.
- Case studies mirror the USMLE’s emphasis on clinical applications.
- Microbe Cards, Concept Cards, and Disease Cards provide data on microbial infections, important concepts, and an overview of infectious disease.
- Completely revised to correlate to Murray’s Medical Microbiology, 8th Edition.
