Beginning with basic information on microbiology and infection, this primer focuses most of its attention on the role of infection in clinical practice, though it does also discuss specialized topics like bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology, entomology, lab methods, and antimicrobial agents. The information is presented in an extremely concise form, followed by practice tests. Inglis is a microbiologist with the University of Western Australia.
