This textbook from Universities Press is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title edited by Dr. Sonal Saxena, written for nursing students (नर्सिंग विद्यार्थी) studying microbiology. (cite index="459-1">It is essential for nurses to have an understanding of the fundamentals of microbiology in order to perform their various roles in clinical practice, and this third edition fulfils that requirement. Its focus on the needs of the nursing practitioner in India, in the ever-changing and evolving face of microbiology, is in tune with the recent revisions in the B.Sc Nursing syllabus, with emphasis on applied microbiology, infection control and safety. (cite index="461-1">The content is compliant with the new B.Sc Nursing syllabus, and it provides a concise treatment of general microbiology, immunity, systematic bacteriology, virology, parasitology and mycology — enough to understand the means by which diseases caused by various microorganisms are transmitted, how the human immune system responds to infections, how infections are diagnosed and managed, and what mechanisms control the spread of disease. (cite index="463-1">Its later chapters turn decisively practical, covering isolation precautions and the use of personal protective equipment, biomedical waste management, sample collection and transport, antimicrobial resistance and stewardship, patient safety indicators, incidents and adverse events, international patient safety goals, hospital environment safety and healthcare worker safety, with answers to MCQs at the end. That second half is what makes it a nursing book rather than a shortened medical one: those are the tasks a nurse actually performs on a ward. (cite index="461-1">Dr. Sonal Saxena is Director-Professor and Head of the Department of Microbiology at Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
