This manual from Arya Publications is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. C.P. Baveja, written for the practical component of MBBS microbiology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी) and prepared as per the revised competency-based NMC (MCI) curriculum. (cite index="342-1">Its contents are organised into four parts — Methodology, Practical Exercises, Spots and Applied Microbiology — followed by an appendix. The book carries an explicit note that its chapters are interrelated: Unit I on Methodology should be studied first, since the relevant portions of that unit are what enable a student to perform the Practical Exercises of Unit II. Unit I runs from the introduction through commonly used methods, culture media, culture as a general and then a specific approach, and identification of bacterial culture; Unit II then sets out the practical exercises themselves. That sequencing is the book's organising principle and its practical strength — a student learns the method before being asked to apply it, rather than following steps without knowing why. (cite index="341-1">Later editions of the book carry detailed sections on viva voce preparation and spots identification, making it useful for practical examinations, presenting laboratory techniques and concepts in a clear, accessible format so that students master both the laboratory skills and the theoretical knowledge behind them. (cite index="343-1">The fifth edition was published in 2021 and runs to around 212 pages in paperback. It is written by the author of Complete Microbiology for MBBS, so the terminology and approach stay consistent between the theory book and the practical work. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

आर्य पब्लिकेशंस (APC) द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Practical Microbiology for MBBS' का यह पाँचवाँ संस्करण डॉ. सी.पी. बवेजा द्वारा लिखा गया है और NMC (MCI) के संशोधित कॉम्पिटेंसी-बेस्ड पाठ्यक्रम के अनुसार तैयार किया गया है। पुस्तक चार भागों में विभाजित है — मेथडोलॉजी, प्रैक्टिकल एक्सरसाइज़, स्पॉट्स तथा एप्लाइड माइक्रोबायोलॉजी — साथ ही परिशिष्ट भी दिया गया है। पुस्तक में स्पष्ट रूप से बताया गया है कि इसके अध्याय परस्पर संबंधित हैं और यूनिट-I 'मेथडोलॉजी' का अध्ययन पहले करना चाहिए, क्योंकि उसी के आधार पर यूनिट-II के प्रयोग किए जा सकते हैं। यूनिट-I में परिचय, सामान्यतः प्रयुक्त विधियाँ, कल्चर मीडिया, कल्चर का सामान्य एवं विशिष्ट दृष्टिकोण तथा जीवाणु कल्चर की पहचान सम्मिलित है। प्रायोगिक परीक्षा की दृष्टि से 'स्पॉट्स' का अलग खंड विशेष रूप से उपयोगी है। यह पुस्तक 'Complete Microbiology for MBBS' के लेखक द्वारा ही लिखी गई है, अतः सैद्धांतिक एवं प्रायोगिक दोनों पुस्तकों की शब्दावली एक जैसी रहती है। लगभग 212 पृष्ठ। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
