Customer Reviews

Came as expected, no flaws in product

Product came on time, maybe even earlier than expected. Was new and in perfect condition, was a good deal compared to my college book store. It is a very interesting read also, glad I spent the money on it. My pathophysiology book on the other hand... Let's just say it's unfortunate that book is required. I would still enjoy reading this book even if it weren't for a class.

Easy to read bacteriology book

I bought this book because it was recommended for my graduate level bacteriology course. It was easy to read and understand although it isn't especially comprehensive or detailed. I think it a useful supplement and it is a very affordable book. The topics that are covered are relevant and the book makes them easy to understand.

A Thorough and Sophisticated Presentation of Pathogenicity

As an undergraduate student studying microbiology, I found the book to be extremely technical. I would have appreciated a more clinical approach to pathogenicity. Bacterial Pathogenesis can, however, serve as an excellent reference text concerning the details of pathogenicity on a molecular level. The book covers virulence factors and antibiotic in detail. 21 bacterial diseases are covered extensively, each having its own chapter.
