The Textbook of Medical Microbiology for BSc Medical Technology has been developed to meet the academic needs of undergraduate students, aligned with the curriculum of the Bangladesh State Medical Faculty. It bridges the gap between fundamental microbiological concepts and their practical applications in clinical settings. Medical microbiology is central to understanding infectious diseases, diagnostics, antimicrobial resistance, and infection control. With the emergence of new pathogens and evolving disease patterns, medical technologists require both a strong theoretical foundation and practical competence. This book presents information in a clear and structured format, featuring concise explanations, tables, illustrations, clinical correlations, and end-of-chapter assessment questions. It also reflects current advances in diagnostics, emerging infections, and global health challenges. We hope this book serves as a reliable companion for students, a guide for educators, and a practical reference for laboratory professionals. Feedback from readers will be highly valued to further enrich future editions.
