I did my MSc. in Infectious Diseases using the 4th edition of this book and I've now started my PhD in Pathogen Genomics (specifically related to antibiotic resistance) with this 6th edition as my aid. This book is PERFECT. It is high yield, gives you everything you need to know in a casual writing style, like a friend explaining instead of a hard, dry text book. I love the little cartoons, it makes the subject matter more palatable and interesting, and the mnemonics make memorizing easier. It is structured well and covers everything.
