This textbook from Vision Books Publisher is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Pooja Gupta, edited by Balreena, written for B.Sc Nursing students (नर्सिंग विद्यार्थी) taking Applied Microbiology and Infection Control Including Safety in the third semester. It is part of the publisher's MasterMind Series and is stated on the cover to follow the new syllabus for 2022-23. The subject itself was introduced in this form under the revised Indian Nursing Council curriculum, which pairs applied microbiology with infection control and patient safety in a single paper — reflecting the reality that a nurse uses microbiology mainly to prevent transmission rather than to diagnose. Accordingly the book gives detailed treatment to infection control and patient safety alongside the microbiology fundamentals: microbial structure and function, immunity, the organisms behind common infections, sterilisation and disinfection, and the practical protocols of a ward — hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, biomedical waste handling, specimen collection and safety procedures. Its exam orientation is the other half of its design. The cover states that it carries 600+ multiple choice questions and fill-ups, along with "Extra Takes" and "Top Tips" placed through the chapters, so that a student can revise and self-test from the same book they studied from. The publisher also offers complimentary online access to PowerPoint lectures for each chapter through its website, which is useful both to students revising and to faculty teaching the paper. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
