Hey… I am trying to find a source somewhere on the web that provides a good, clear way to organize all of the bacteria. I'm looking for a flow chart or some kind of outline that will help me sort all of the bugs out… Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks…
here are some links you might find useful (none so far are an actual chart)
UTMB online book - really a good book – sections by organism family and by organ system/disease

Kirksville page of links – good stuff on what usually causes what

Hi Lauren,
I can recommend a book called "Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple" (MicroMRS)as a great way to get all of the micro under control. From this book, I made my own flow-chart and cards. The process of making the flash cards helped me learn the material. Another book that I liked was "High Yield Microbiology"(HYMicro). HYMicro is not a fleshy as MicroMRS but it is a great book and well organized.
It funny how I can still remember the "Myobacterium waxing his surfboard " from MicroMRS. This is a good book with great charts and the best of the "Made Ridiculously Simple" series of review books. This is a must-have book for any medical student.

I second Dr. Belle's recommendation. I read the material in that book every night before the next day's lectures.
