This textbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेज़ी माध्यम) title by Dr. Satish Gupte, written for medical students studying microbiology (माइक्रोबायोलॉजी). The book offers a comprehensive yet concise guide to microbiology, parasitology and entomology, designed for medical students, healthcare professionals and researchers, combining clear explanations with up-to-date information so that it suits students preparing for examinations and professionals seeking a refresher. Its length is the point: at 512 pages it is deliberately a short textbook, presenting the subject in an easy, simple and straightforward form, and the author's stated intention from the first edition onward has been to help undergraduates take in both the basic and the applied aspects of the subject without wading through a thousand pages. This twelfth edition offers a concise and pleasant presentation of subjects including parasitology, entomology and mycology. New topics such as Antimicrobial Stewardship, Clinical Case Discussions in question-answer format, AETCOM, and Applied Microbiology including clinical microbiology discussions have been added to enhance clinical relevance and applicability. The content is organised into twelve well-structured sections and the edition is enriched with colour illustrations, photographs, flowcharts and tables to aid understanding. Its distinguishing feature across editions has been the inclusion of updated medical parasitology together with entomology — the study of insect vectors of disease — which most microbiology textbooks omit entirely, so a student is not sent elsewhere for that portion of the syllabus. The whole book is written in English in the Roman script.

जेपी ब्रदर्स मेडिकल पब्लिशर्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'The Short Textbook of Medical Microbiology (Including Parasitology & Entomology)' का यह बारहवाँ संस्करण डॉ. सतीश गुप्ते द्वारा लिखा गया है। यह पुस्तक माइक्रोबायोलॉजी, पैरासाइटोलॉजी एवं एंटोमोलॉजी का संक्षिप्त किंतु व्यापक विवेचन प्रस्तुत करती है। लगभग 512 पृष्ठों की यह पुस्तक जानबूझकर संक्षिप्त रखी गई है — लेखक का उद्देश्य आरंभ से ही यही रहा है कि विषय को सरल एवं सीधी भाषा में प्रस्तुत किया जाए ताकि स्नातक विद्यार्थी बुनियादी एवं अनुप्रयुक्त दोनों पहलुओं को सहजता से ग्रहण कर सकें। इस संस्करण में एंटीमाइक्रोबियल स्टीवर्डशिप, प्रश्न-उत्तर प्रारूप में क्लिनिकल केस चर्चाएँ, AETCOM तथा एप्लाइड माइक्रोबायोलॉजी (क्लिनिकल माइक्रोबायोलॉजी सहित) जैसे नए विषय जोड़े गए हैं। सम्पूर्ण सामग्री बारह सुव्यवस्थित खंडों में विभाजित है और पुस्तक रंगीन चित्रों, फ़ोटोग्राफ़, फ़्लोचार्ट एवं तालिकाओं से समृद्ध है। इसकी विशेषता यह है कि इसमें पैरासाइटोलॉजी के साथ-साथ मेडिकल एंटोमोलॉजी भी सम्मिलित है, जो अधिकांश माइक्रोबायोलॉजी पाठ्यपुस्तकों में नहीं मिलती। ध्यान दें: यह पुस्तक पूर्णतः अंग्रेज़ी भाषा एवं रोमन लिपि में है, हिन्दी में नहीं।
