Author Description

Printed in full color, this set of 201 MicroMnemonics cards makes medical microbiology clear to understand, fun to learn and easy to memorize by using mnemonics, cartoons and humor. At first, we create a cartoon for each bug based on its name and associated features. This turns a "clueless" bug name into a vivid visual cue for easy recall. Then, the key points of the bug are summarized concisely in an outline format, supplemented with tables, diagrams, flowcharts and even Dr. Bright's Hint. This set of cards is organized by microorganisms with an overview guide. Each topic starts with a classified list of major microbes and the diseases they may cause. The last section summarizes infections in different organ systems for a quick review. Intended to serve as an excellent memory aid for learning medical microbiology, either for the courses or the board exams. It is suitable for anyone who wants to learn and memorize medical microbiology with ease and fun.
