Practicals in Microbiology

5Preface
Up to the early nineties, microbiology was integrated with pathology and a common practical notebook was used. There were dedicated tutors/demonstrators who taught the subject for years together, discussed among themselves and brought an uniformity.
Microbiology is now a separate subject gaining importance everyday. These days, with frequent promotions and frequent transfers, there has been a lack of uniformity among the laboratory notebooks in different colleges.
This book has, therefore, been written in an attempt to bring uniformity and standardization in laboratory and practical notebook among various medical colleges in India.
