Oxford Textbook of Medicine: Infection

The book is fantastic. It is an incredibly comprehensive but easy to read resource that will be useful to ID clinicians and microbiologists, both Consultants and trainees alike. In my opinion it is a must buy for an Infectious Disease / Microbiology department. The book strikes a very nice balance between the level of detail provided and the succinctness of the text meaning that it can be used both as a reference book during day to day work and as a resource for simply reading to increase one's knowledge. The layout is also really easy to follow and the illustrations brighten up the book as well as enlightening the text. I would highly recommend it to trainees and Consultants in infectious diseases and microbiology and to anybody who needs an excellent, comprehensive but easy and enjoyable to read reference book on infectious diseases.
