Written at the bench. For the bench.
Most microbiology references fall into one of two categories: academic textbooks that are comprehensive but far too slow to consult during a busy shift, or terse SOP binders that tell you what to do without ever explaining why — making them useless the moment something doesn't match the expected pattern.
Practical Microbiology: The Benchside Guide
Written by a working biomedical scientist with hands-on hospital laboratory experience — from Gram stain screening at 2 a.m. to validating an antibiogram that changes a patient's antibiotic regimen — this guide gives you enough underlying principle to reason through an unusual result, and condenses it enough to find what you need in ten seconds, mid-shift.
What's inside:
Every chapter is built around four pillars: LEARN the principle behind each technique. CALCULATE every formula, worked with real numbers. DECIDE through 38 case studies that mirror real specimen ambiguity. REFERENCE flowcharts and quick-lookup tables built for a mid-shift consult.
Coverage includes:
- Aseptic technique and bench organization
- Culture media: preparation, autoclaving, QC, and storage
- Staining step by step: Gram, Ziehl-Neelsen, India Ink, and spore stain
- Biochemical identification
- Kirby-Bauer antibiogram and MIC/MBC determination — aligned with CLSI M100, M02, M07, and M11
- All laboratory calculations, fully solved
- Applied mycology and virology for the diagnostic laboratory
- 70 exercises across four difficulty levels, with a complete answer key
- 38 case studies: 12 diagnostic and 26 decision-based
- Identification flowcharts and decision trees
- Specimen collection, transport, and rejection criteria
- Reagent, stain, and media formulary
- Laboratory safety and quality systems
- Report language templates
- A complete bench workup, start to finish
Built for working analysts — not just students.
This is the kind of book that ends up dog-eared next to the microscope — not because it looks good on a shelf, but because it actually gets used.
Companion bench tools — antibiogram interpreter, calculators, and organism catalog — available at www.microbiohub.com
