(With Explanations)

Preface

The questions asked in the PG entrance examination are multiple questions. A large number of question in microbiology are asked in the examination. If a candidate is through in microbiology then he/she can easily attempt many infection-related MCQs in other subjects (e. g., surgery medicine, paediatrics, community medicine, etc.) also. Therefore, it is a high-scoring subject in PG entrance examinations. Most of the books available in the market deal with MCQs and answers only. No explanation of the correct and incorrect choices is given. Therefore, the candidate forgets the correct answers. This book gives explanation of correct answers and why the other choices are wrong. This helps the candidates to remember the correct answers.

The book has been divided into 15 chapters. The subjects covered are bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology. In the last chapter, image-based MCQs are given. Each question carries one photomicrograph or photograph and the candidate is asked to identify the correct choice. Explanation of the correct and incorrect choices is given.
