BRS Microbiology and Immunology is designed specifically for medical and graduate students for successful preparation for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). This newest edition features a full-color design and illustrations throughout. The book is divided into 12 chapters and presents both a "bug" approach followed by an organ systems approach. It remains a succinct description of the most important microbiological and immunological concepts and critical details needed to understand important human infections and the immune system function and malfunction. End-of-chapter review tests feature updated USMLE-style questions with rationales and four USMLE comprehensive examinations (in 50 question blocks like Step 1) help test memorization and mastery of the subject.

A companion website offers the fully searchable text and an online question bank.

BRS Microbiology and Immunology PDF

This book is maybe one of the best BRS's. One of the end chapters has flow charts on how to narrow down symptoms to 1 or 2 bugs, and it works WONDERS. The parasitology part of the book is all mainly in one big table with a 2-3 line description of the parasite, bug, location, vector and PICTURE! The immuno part is quick, concise and VERY high yield.
Very well written book!

This is an excellent review book for Step 1. It has some of the extra information and details that First Aid is missing and can be used to annotate First Aid for better overall preparedness for the exam (at least so I hope, as I'll be taking it in July). I think having this book as a quick reference for our medical microbiology course would have been helpful too. I didn't give it the full 5 stars because the index is a bit lacking, although the search option in the online full-text version does compensate for this somewhat, but if you're not near a computer it is definitely an inconvenience. As a busy parent who is crazy enough to tackle medical school with a family in tow, anything that takes more time than needed is an obstacle for me.
