Learn microbiology through picture mnemonics





















A must have book, if you get confused between Streptococcus, Staphylococcus etc etc. There a few unbeatable cartoons which are picture mnemonics. Also has lots of Tables. 

See the examples from Staphylococcus chapter. The cartoons depict Staphylococcus as a warrior. Did you note the first picture? Well it depicts a staff (Staphylococcus) with a CAT in front of them - Represents that staphylococcus is CATalase positive. The other series of pictures depict it as a warrior with various virulence factors - Coagulase, protein A, hyaluronidase, Leukocidin, Hemolysin etc.
