"Microbiological Algorithms" offer a wealth of information in a concise format, emphasizing the timeless value of Clinical Microbiology in the diagnosis of infections. Although no scientific textbook can contain all possible parameters for the detection and standardization of pathogenic microorganisms, the effort to gather all this useful information and present it in the form of a concise laboratory guide is commendable and will greatly assist the laboratory physician specializing in Medical Pathology or specializing in Clinical Microbiology." - Athanasios Tsakris
