These 324 full-color flash cards offer today's most effective assistance in memorizing essential microbiology knowledge. The front of each card features a full-color illustration depicting a microbial organism and the clinical appearance of its related disease. The back of the card summarizes the organism's special features, the diseases it can cause, and the available treatment options. Clinical Correlations mirror the USMLE's emphasis on clinical applications. And, sample USMLE questions facilitate study. With their clinical focus and exquisite illustrations, these Flash Cards are a perfect review tool for course exams, as well as for the USMLE Step 1!
