This textbook from CBS Publishers & Distributors is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by D.R. Arora and Brij Bala Arora, written for nursing students (नर्सिंग विद्यार्थी) studying applied microbiology. (cite index="506-1">All the chapters have been written and arranged as per the syllabus of the Indian Nursing Council for B.Sc Nursing. (cite index="502-1">The second edition was published by CBS Publishers & Distributors and runs to around 360 pages. The cover sets out what distinguishes this edition: it has been written by senior subject experts and faculty members with more than forty years of teaching experience; five new chapters have been added in line with the revised INC syllabus for B.Sc (N); infection control and safety is included as part of the coverage; and the book carries more than 300 illustrations and photographs. Those two additions — the new chapters and the infection control section — matter because the revised INC curriculum folded infection control and patient safety into the microbiology paper, so a nursing student now needs both in one book. The heavy illustration count serves the same practical end: a nurse identifies organisms and recognises procedures visually far more often than she recalls them descriptively. The authors' background in microbiology teaching is long-standing, and the writing keeps to the level a nursing course requires rather than compressing a medical text. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script. Key Features: English medium book — complete content written in English (Roman script) Written by D.R. Arora and Brij Bala Arora, published by CBS Publishers & Distributors Second edition — around 360 pages, paperback All chapters written and arranged as per the INC syllabus for B.Sc Nursing Five new chapters added to match the revised INC syllabus for B.Sc (N) Infection control and safety included within the coverage More than 300 illustrations and photographs Written by senior subject experts with over 40 years of teaching experience Applied focus — microbiology as a nurse actually uses it Covers general microbiology, immunity and the common infectious agents Written at nursing course level, not condensed from a medical textbook Suitable for B.Sc Nursing, Post-Basic B.Sc Nursing and GNM students Also useful as a quick reference for practising nurses Compact single volume, manageable alongside other semester subjects A recognised alternative to the other INC-aligned nursing microbiology texts सीबीएस पब्लिशर्स एंड डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Essentials of Applied Microbiology for BSc Nursing Students' का यह द्वितीय संस्करण डॉ. डी.आर. अरोड़ा एवं डॉ. बृज बाला अरोड़ा द्वारा लिखा गया है। पुस्तक के सभी अध्याय भारतीय नर्सिंग परिषद (INC) के बी.एससी. नर्सिंग पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार लिखे एवं व्यवस्थित किए गए हैं। इस संस्करण में INC के संशोधित पाठ्यक्रम के अनुरूप पाँच नए अध्याय जोड़े गए हैं तथा संक्रमण-नियंत्रण एवं सुरक्षा (Infection Control & Safety) को भी सम्मिलित किया गया है — यह इसलिए महत्त्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि संशोधित पाठ्यक्रम में इन विषयों को माइक्रोबायोलॉजी के साथ ही रखा गया है। पुस्तक में 300 से अधिक चित्र एवं फ़ोटोग्राफ़ दिए गए हैं, जो नर्सिंग विद्यार्थियों के लिए विशेष रूप से उपयोगी हैं। यह पुस्तक 40 वर्ष से अधिक शिक्षण अनुभव रखने वाले वरिष्ठ विषय-विशेषज्ञों द्वारा लिखी गई है और इसका स्तर नर्सिंग पाठ्यक्रम के अनुरूप रखा गया है — यह किसी मेडिकल पाठ्यपुस्तक का संक्षिप्त रूप नहीं है। कुल लगभग 360 पृष्ठ। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
