Description:
Ananthanaryan and paniker microbiology textbook- 10th edition was created for students of the undergraduate mbbs and bds, and for all courses dealing with microbiology as a core or ancillary subject. The tenth edition of this classic textbook has been revised with the mci focus on streamlined teaching underlining the application microbiology criteria in mind. Major improvements for this edition: modern sterilization and disinfection principles, including plasma sterilization and healthcare procedures, streamlined and improved molecular methods as applied to microbiological excellent aspects of the revamped national tuberculosis plan (rntcp), approaches for the treatment of mdr and xdr tuberculosis, and the avoid tb policy of who is fresh and evolving
Significant updates for this edition: New concepts in sterilisation and disinfection, including plasma sterilisation and practices in healthcare settings automated and updated molecular techniques as applied to microbiology salient features of the revised national tuberculosis program (rntcp), with strategies for diagnosis of mdr and xdr tuberculosis, and the stop tb strategy of who new and emerging viral infections such as sars, mers-cov, influenza epidemics, the zika virus outbreak, and the ebola outbreak naco guidelines for hiv testing strategies for different categories of the population, and hiv exposure and source codes latest vaccines for immunisation against childhood infections in india, including rotavirus, haemophilus influenzae and pneumococci healthcare-associated infections leading to cauti, vap, hcabsi and ssi, and strategies for prevention with pictorial representations biomedical waste management rules (2016) a new chapter on principles of laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases, explaining the work flow in a clinical microbiology laboratory quality control and accreditation of diagnostic tests performed by laboratories new tabular columns and flowcharts, where required, to make the conceptualisation of processes easy to comprehend by the undergraduate student
. 
Book Reviews:
This book has been popular among medical students in India since it was published 35 years ago. Numerous new editions were subsequently created to keep up with the evolution and developments of Medical Microbiology. The 2013 edition is updated with recent advances in the subject, and many eminent scientists and microbiologists have contributed.
Others on Medical Mycology, Clinical Microbiology and a new chapter on Biomedical Waste Management are additional sections which add importance. The description of each chapter given along with a set of important questions is an especially useful feature. It provides encouragement to students studying for tests. The inclusion of clinical cases representing medical situations, where applicable, is of benefit in the realistic application of knowledge for both the staff and students.
Federal guidelines and strategies should be made known to medical graduates who work in India, either in primary care or in any field of specialization. The availability of recommendations from the Revised National Tuberculosis Plan (RNTCP), the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), the Biomedical Waste Management Regulations of the Government of India and the awareness of new virus strains are of great value in this respect.
The subject matter is well arranged in addition to the material, using simple language and diagrams, color photographs, diagrammatic representations, tabular column data and supporting text algorithms.
Nevertheless, the exhaustive nature of scientific information is a matter of concern for undergraduate textbooks, written in India, and is of little interest to graduate students. It begs the question as to whether the book is meant for a graduate student or postgraduate. In a broader perspective, therefore, it is imperative that the faculty make discernible use of the volume of information available in this book while addressing graduate students, and that publishers and authors focus on content relevant to the practice of Clinical Microbiology for medical students and practitioners.
