जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Review of Microbiology & Immunology' का यह नौवाँ संस्करण डॉ. अपूर्बा एस. सास्त्री एवं डॉ. संध्या भट द्वारा लिखा गया है। यह पुस्तक NEET-PG, INI-CET, FMGE, DNB तथा राज्य स्तरीय प्रवेश परीक्षाओं की तैयारी के लिए तैयार की गई है। माइक्रोबायोलॉजी पीजी प्रवेश परीक्षाओं में अधिक अंक दिलाने वाला विषय माना जाता है, और यही इस पुस्तक का आधार है। प्रत्येक अध्याय में पहले संक्षिप्त किंतु पूर्ण पाठ दिया गया है, जिसमें महत्त्वपूर्ण बिंदु अलग बॉक्स में रखे गए हैं, और उसके बाद अध्यायवार MCQs विस्तृत व्याख्या सहित दिए गए हैं। इम्यूनोलॉजी, पैरासाइटोलॉजी एवं माइकोलॉजी खंडों पर विशेष बल दिया गया है। पुस्तक NMC द्वारा सुझाए गए माइक्रोबायोलॉजी पाठ्यक्रम पर आधारित है और इसमें नवीनतम महामारी-विज्ञान, प्रयोगशाला निदान एवं उपचार सम्मिलित हैं, साथ ही MALDI-TOF, VITEK, रियल-टाइम PCR तथा BioFire FilmArray जैसी नई तकनीकें भी शामिल हैं। यह संस्करण द्वितीय वर्ष के MBBS विद्यार्थियों को उनकी परीक्षा तथा पीजी प्रवेश — दोनों की तैयारी में सहायक है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
