Chakraborty, written for students of microbiology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी) across medical, paramedical and life sciences courses. (cite index="440-1">Its salient features are set out plainly: detailed chapter summaries; a full-colour format with highlighted sections in the text; updated coverage of clinical microbiology; over 400 coloured photographs and illustrations; plenty of review questions for examinations; and the latest updates on emerging infections. The book features extensively revised and updated content linking fundamental microbiology — general bacteriology and immunology — with an overview of the microorganisms and agents involved in clinical infections. That linking is its organising idea: the fundamentals are not taught in isolation from the clinical picture, which suits students who need both the basic science and its application without moving between two books.
