About the Book

MIMS' Medical Microbiology and Immunology is loved internationally for its thorough yet easy-to-follow coverage of microbiology, infectious diseases, and immunology as a dynamic interplay between microbes and host.

Students will come away with a deep understanding of topics and processes, and will return to this book for reference time and again. Clear writing and easy-to-understand explanations - perfect for students learning to grasp the fundamentals of both microbiology and immunology User-friendly format with colour coding, key concept boxes, and dynamic illustrations for easy navigation Organised by body system - goes beyond the 'bug parade' to help you understand clinical context
