The index in the back of the book is not complete. I emailed the editor with no response. The reading is enjoyable but when I try to look up a subject for research, the indexed item is not found on the page it says. Disappointed

Clinical Microbiology made rediculously simple is a down to earth explanation of virtually all classes of microbes affecting humans. Viruses, gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, fungus, parasites and worms, and prions are all covered from contraction to incubation to illness to analysis to control.
