This textbook from CBS Publishers & Distributors is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. D.R. Arora and Brij Bala Arora, written for MBBS students studying microbiology and parasitology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी एवं पैरासाइटोलॉजी). The rapid increase in information in the medical sciences requires that textbooks be revised and updated to keep pace with current trends, and the seventh edition is an updated version that meets the new course requirements of undergraduate medical students. The text has been thoroughly revised as per the Competency-Based Undergraduate Curriculum for the Indian Medical Graduate; however, for ease of learning and teaching the traditional organism-based subject, a brief description has been retained — a sensible compromise that lets a student learn the organisms in the familiar order while the book still maps to the competencies. Descriptions of clinical case-based exercises, monkeypox and the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been added in this edition, and the book carries an Index of Competencies so a student or teacher can locate the CBME competency each section addresses. The edition also features the incorporation of parasitology, deftly included to add value to the book; unnecessary details of various parasites have been excluded, and this obviates the reading of a separate book on parasitology. The text is presented in a simple and lucid manner, fully illustrated with colour and computer-drawn diagrams, clinical photographs and photomicrographs, which make the book attractively colourful and let readers gain a far better understanding of the biology of microorganisms; new illustrations have been added in this edition. Dr. D.R. Arora, MD PhD MNAMS, is former Professor and Head of the Department of Microbiology at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak, Haryana, and at Maharaja Agrasen Medical College. The seventh edition was published in 2024 and runs to 844 pages. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

सीबीएस पब्लिशर्स एंड डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Textbook of Microbiology with Parasitology' का यह सातवाँ संस्करण डॉ. डी.आर. अरोड़ा (MD, PhD, MNAMS) एवं डॉ. बृज बाला अरोड़ा द्वारा लिखा गया है। डॉ. अरोड़ा पीजीआईएमएस, रोहतक तथा महाराजा अग्रसेन मेडिकल कॉलेज में माइक्रोबायोलॉजी विभाग के प्रोफ़ेसर एवं विभागाध्यक्ष रह चुके हैं। यह संस्करण भारतीय चिकित्सा स्नातक के लिए निर्धारित कॉम्पिटेंसी-बेस्ड अंडरग्रेजुएट करिकुलम (CBME) के अनुसार पूर्णतः संशोधित है, किंतु पढ़ाने-सीखने की सुविधा के लिए पारंपरिक जीव-आधारित विवरण भी बनाए रखा गया है। इसमें दक्षताओं की अनुक्रमणिका (Index of Competencies) दी गई है। इस संस्करण में क्लिनिकल केस-आधारित अभ्यास, मंकीपॉक्स तथा SARS-CoV-2 वायरस संबंधी विवरण जोड़े गए हैं। सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि इसमें पैरासाइटोलॉजी को भी सम्मिलित किया गया है — परजीवियों के अनावश्यक विवरण हटाकर — जिससे अलग से पैरासाइटोलॉजी की पुस्तक पढ़ने की आवश्यकता नहीं रहती। पुस्तक सरल भाषा में लिखी गई है तथा रंगीन आरेखों, नैदानिक फ़ोटोग्राफ़ एवं फ़ोटोमाइक्रोग्राफ़ से पूर्णतः सुसज्जित है। कुल 844 पृष्ठ। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
