It's also good for pharmacologists, however, like most books, it requires integrating with other material.

A good and complete microbiology textbook with a classical approach to the subject.
While this isn't my favorite textbook it's an excellent choice for anyone taking university microbiology courses.
I would love an update on the approach towards one that encompasses a more ecological point of view, after all, microorganisms are a fundamental part of the environment and ourselves.

Not too shabby a textbook. Served me very well along my undergrad studies, in which I had three Microbiology courses (basic, applied and environmental), so it's pretty well-rounded. Nicely illustrated too, and easy to follow, and has also the bonus of some very interesting anecdotes and curiosities.
