Concise book for reading.......2003-04-15

This handbook is easy to approach. It provides general information about infectious diseases, although not comprehensive in detail. For medical students and those who are not specialists of infectious diseases, this book is the one that you can buy and read.

Useful information readily available.......2000-05-05

A Practical Approach to Infectious Diseases offers the medical resident and ID fellow a thorough yet accessible and practical resource for dealing with commonly encountered ID problems. The section of STD's is particularly informative as are the sections on Bone and Joint Infections and UTI's.

The major texts for ID are often cumbersome to find the exact information needed. This text however is easily referenced with discrete chapters and excellent references at the end of each chapter if a more comprehensive review is desired.

For new microbiologists coming into industry from university.......2003-08-04

In this day when microbiologists are merely molecular technicians coming out of university, this text was a refreshing renaissance of traditional applied microbiology. Rather than continue to rely on oral tradition from mentors to apprentices, Brannan has finally put the practical back into the field. He has produced a highly readable book on cosmetic microbiology practices. Cosmetic Microbiology: A Practical Handbook contains real-to-life practices and tips on sanitation, preservation, test methods, validation, and even a bit of toxicology and regulatory tips that will be highly useful to industrial microbiologists. And it is written in a way that even the process engineers and plant managers will appreciate.

useful as a quick refresher.......2003-04-17

This is a briskly written book that does exactly what its title claims. Useful to medical microbiology and nursing students as a supplement to the usual massive textbook. The book is British so terminolgy, drug names, and spelling may differ somewhat from USA usage. The book carries a 1995 date and is probably in need of some updating. I suggest it to my microbiology students if they need an alternative presentation to their assigned text.
