This textbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Apurba S. Sastry and Sandhya Bhat, written for MBBS students studying microbiology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी). Its defining characteristic is its arrangement. (cite index="573-1">The book is written in an organism-based approach, with bacteriology, virology, parasitology and mycology covered separately. That matters because the authors' better-known Essentials of Medical Microbiology takes the opposite route — system-based teaching organised around clinical infective syndromes. This volume serves the student, teacher or curriculum that prefers to learn organism by organism, in the traditional sequence. (cite index="570-1">Its eight sections run: General Microbiology, Immunology, Hospital Infection Control, Systematic Bacteriology, Virology, Parasitology, Mycology and Applied Microbiology, followed by annexures, across around 410 pages in paperback. (cite index="573-1">The General Microbiology section is meticulously structured with general bacteriology divided into several subchapters, and the Immunology section covers immunity, antigen, antibody, complement, antigen-antibody reactions, the immune system, immune response, hypersensitivity, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency disorders, immunoprophylaxis and immunohaematology. (cite index="572-1">Apurba S. Sastry, MD (JIPMER) DNB MNAMS PDCR, is Officer-in-Charge of the Hospital Infection Control and Prevention Unit, Antimicrobial Stewardship Lead and Additional Professor of Microbiology at JIPMER, Puducherry; Sandhya Bhat, MD DNB MNAMS PDCR and a gold medallist, is Professor of Microbiology at the Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences. The cover also carries a scratch code giving access to Dr. Wise, the publisher's AI chatbot, and a "Genuine? Scratch, Scan & Validate" hologram for authenticity verification. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Essentials of Microbiology: Organism Based' डॉ. अपूर्बा एस. सास्त्री एवं डॉ. संध्या भट द्वारा लिखी गई पुस्तक है। इस पुस्तक की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता इसकी संरचना है — इसमें माइक्रोबायोलॉजी को जीव-आधारित (organism-based) दृष्टिकोण से प्रस्तुत किया गया है, जिसमें बैक्टीरियोलॉजी, वायरोलॉजी, पैरासाइटोलॉजी एवं माइकोलॉजी को अलग-अलग खंडों में रखा गया है। यह इन्हीं लेखकों की प्रसिद्ध पुस्तक 'Essentials of Medical Microbiology' से भिन्न है, जो तंत्र-आधारित (system-based) शैली में लिखी गई है। अतः जो विद्यार्थी या शिक्षक पारंपरिक क्रम में विषय पढ़ना पसंद करते हैं, उनके लिए यह पुस्तक उपयुक्त है। इसके आठ खंड हैं — जनरल माइक्रोबायोलॉजी, इम्यूनोलॉजी, हॉस्पिटल इन्फ़ेक्शन कंट्रोल, सिस्टमैटिक बैक्टीरियोलॉजी, वायरोलॉजी, पैरासाइटोलॉजी, माइकोलॉजी तथा एप्लाइड माइक्रोबायोलॉजी — साथ ही परिशिष्ट भी दिए गए हैं। इम्यूनोलॉजी खंड में प्रतिरक्षा, एंटीजन, एंटीबॉडी, अतिसंवेदनशीलता, स्वप्रतिरक्षा तथा प्रतिरक्षा-न्यूनता विकार सम्मिलित हैं। लगभग 410 पृष्ठ। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
