This textbook from CBS Publishers & Distributors is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Mrinalini Bakshi, edited by Indarjit Walia and Anju Dhir, and written for GNM nursing students (नर्सिंग विद्यार्थी) studying microbiology. It is prepared as per the new syllabus of the Indian Nursing Council for the GNM course, which matters because the GNM diploma is taught at a different level and depth from B.Sc Nursing — a student on this course needs microbiology framed around what a nurse does at the bedside rather than around diagnostic laboratory practice. The cover sets out what is new in this third edition: it is a thoroughly revised and updated edition; it carries 200+ figures, flowcharts and tables; it includes 100+ subjective and objective questions; the text has been enriched with recent updates; nursing implications are covered exclusively; and it includes important clinical images of bacterial, fungal and viral diseases. That "nursing implications" thread is the book's distinguishing feature — each topic is followed through to what the nurse must actually do about it, which is the difference between a microbiology book a nursing student can use and one written for another course. The clinical images serve the same purpose, since recognising a presentation matters more to a ward nurse than culturing the organism does. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

सीबीएस पब्लिशर्स एंड डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'Textbook of Microbiology for GNM Nursing Students' का यह तृतीय संस्करण मृणालिनी बख्शी द्वारा लिखा गया है तथा इसका संपादन डॉ. इंदरजीत वालिया एवं डॉ. अंजू धीर ने किया है। यह पुस्तक भारतीय नर्सिंग परिषद (INC) के GNM पाठ्यक्रम के नए सिलेबस के अनुसार तैयार की गई है। GNM डिप्लोमा का स्तर बी.एससी. नर्सिंग से भिन्न होता है, इसलिए इस पुस्तक में माइक्रोबायोलॉजी को इस दृष्टि से प्रस्तुत किया गया है कि एक नर्स को रोगी के पास वास्तव में क्या जानना और करना आवश्यक है। इस संस्करण में 200 से अधिक चित्र, फ़्लोचार्ट एवं तालिकाएँ, 100 से अधिक विषयनिष्ठ एवं वस्तुनिष्ठ प्रश्न, तथा जीवाणु, कवक एवं विषाणु जनित रोगों के महत्त्वपूर्ण नैदानिक चित्र सम्मिलित हैं। पुस्तक की सबसे बड़ी विशेषता यह है कि इसमें प्रत्येक विषय के साथ 'नर्सिंग इम्प्लिकेशन्स' विशेष रूप से दिए गए हैं — अर्थात् उस जानकारी का नर्सिंग व्यवहार में क्या अर्थ है। सम्पूर्ण पाठ को हालिया अद्यतन जानकारी से समृद्ध किया गया है। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
