Practical Microbiology, Third Edition (Practical Manual) — Bharti Arora, D.R. Arora (CBS Publishers & Distributors)

This manual from CBS Publishers & Distributors is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Bharti Arora and D.R. Arora, written for the practical component of MBBS microbiology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी). (cite index="287-1">This is the thoroughly updated and revised edition of the book, redesigned and recast as per the latest CBME Guidelines and the Competency-Based Undergraduate Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate. The chapters have been modified from traditional organism-based teaching to system-based teaching. The uniqueness of the book lies in the clinical case-based exercises and student activities placed after each practical, which assess the student's learning and practical knowledge. The text is presented in a simple and lucid manner and is illustrated with eight colour plates containing 50 figures, along with computer-drawn figures and photomicrographs, which make the book colourful and easier to follow. (cite index="287-1">The third edition was published in 2023 and runs to 331 pages in paperback. The exercise-after-each-practical structure is what distinguishes it in daily use. Under CBME a student is assessed continuously rather than only at the end, and having a case-based exercise and activity attached to each session means the book supports that assessment directly — the student performs the practical, then works through a clinical scenario that shows why the procedure matters. The system-based recasting follows the same curriculum logic that has reshaped the theory textbooks. (cite index="294-1">D.R. Arora is also the author of Textbook of Microbiology and Medical Mycology, both published by CBS. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.
