This manual from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Apurba S. Sastry and Sandhya Bhat, written for the practical component of MBBS microbiology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी) — the laboratory classes, not the theory paper. (cite index="588-1">The new edition is prepared as per the competency-based medical education (CBME) MBBS curriculum, and its content has been modified from traditional organism-based teaching to system-based. It is the only practical textbook in clinical microbiology based on infective syndromes and written in a class-wise pattern following the undergraduate practical schedule. It also helps the teacher to teach during a practical class, indicates what to keep for demonstration during that class, and gives a holistic approach to preparing the yearly practical schedule. (cite index="590-1">The book is categorised into two sections — Microbiology, Immunology and Hospital Infection Control, and Systemic Microbiology (Infectious Diseases). The general microbiology chapters have been meticulously restructured with the inclusion of general virology, general parasitology and general mycology chapters; the immunology chapters are thoroughly updated; and various topics such as MAC ELISA and Elek's gel precipitation test have been updated. (cite index="592-1">The systemic section is arranged by system — bloodstream and cardiovascular system infections, gastrointestinal infections, hepatobiliary system infections, skin, soft tissue and musculoskeletal system infections, respiratory tract infections, central nervous system infections, urogenital tract infections and miscellaneous. The class-wise structure is what distinguishes it in daily use: a student can take the book to the laboratory and find the session they are about to do, rather than hunting through an organism index. (cite index="596-1">The second edition runs to 350 pages in paperback, weighing around 610 g. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Essentials of Practical Microbiology' का यह द्वितीय संस्करण डॉ. अपूर्बा एस. सास्त्री एवं डॉ. संध्या भट द्वारा लिखा गया है। यह पुस्तक MBBS की माइक्रोबायोलॉजी के प्रायोगिक (practical) भाग के लिए तैयार की गई है — सैद्धांतिक पाठ्यपुस्तक नहीं है। यह संस्करण CBME पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार बनाया गया है और इसमें पारंपरिक जीव-आधारित शैली के स्थान पर तंत्र-आधारित (system-based) शैली अपनाई गई है। यह क्लिनिकल माइक्रोबायोलॉजी की एकमात्र ऐसी प्रायोगिक पुस्तक है जो संक्रामक सिंड्रोम पर आधारित है तथा स्नातक प्रायोगिक कक्षा-अनुसूची के क्रम में लिखी गई है। पुस्तक दो खंडों में विभाजित है — (1) जनरल माइक्रोबायोलॉजी, इम्यूनोलॉजी एवं हॉस्पिटल इन्फ़ेक्शन कंट्रोल, तथा (2) सिस्टमिक माइक्रोबायोलॉजी, जिसमें रक्तप्रवाह, जठरांत्र, यकृत-पित्त, त्वचा एवं अस्थि-पेशी, श्वसन, तंत्रिका तंत्र तथा मूत्र-जननांग संक्रमण सम्मिलित हैं। MAC ELISA एवं Elek's gel precipitation test जैसे विषय अद्यतन किए गए हैं। यह पुस्तक शिक्षकों के लिए भी उपयोगी है, क्योंकि इसमें प्रायोगिक कक्षा में क्या प्रदर्शित करना है और वार्षिक प्रायोगिक अनुसूची कैसे बनानी है, इसका मार्गदर्शन दिया गया है। कुल 350 पृष्ठ। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
