Microbes stop being a list of names. They start making sense.

Four ways the guide does the work for you

This isn't a textbook with pictures added. The guide is built the same way from start to finish, so by the third chapter you already know where to look.

Guide pages on the eukaryotic cell with labeled organelle illustrations
Illustrated topics
see it first

Every topic is drawn, labeled and explained.

Cells, pathogens and infections are illustrated before they're described, so the structure is already in your head when the details arrive.

See it once. Remember it longer.

Made by JDMA Nursing School, now MedStudies, for nursing students who learn by seeing

Illustrated topics, clear language, and quizzes to check what stuck.

the real problem

Microbiology is not a memory problem. It's an organization problem.

Studied as a pile of names, every microbe is a new fact. Studied in order (the cell, how microbes live, how they cause disease, how the body fights back) each topic sets up the next one.

how it's usually taught…
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • prions
  • peptidoglycan
  • Candida albicans
  • E. coli
  • binary fission
  • Plasmodium
  • endotoxins
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis
  • MHC class II
  • Aspergillus
  • conjugation
  • Pseudomonas
  • herd immunity
  • HIV
  • Gram stain
  • Giardia
  • beta-lactams
  • Neisseria
  • biofilm
  • C. difficile
  • archaea
  • Toxoplasma
  • fermentation
  • influenza
  • opsonization
  • Salmonella
  • plasmids
  • herpes simplex
  • meningitis

…and you're expected to just hold all of that.

questions

Before you buy

How do I get the guide?

It's a PDF. As soon as your payment clears, the download link is emailed to you, so you can start the same night. Study on a tablet or computer, or print only the chapters you're on.

Basic or Complete?

Basic is the full guide as a hyperlinked PDF. Complete adds the quizzes with answer keys, the flashcards, the stickers and a printable version. If you want to test yourself before the exam, take Complete.

Is the guide in English?

Yes. The whole guide is in English, with short sentences and a lot of illustrations.

Which apps does it work with?

Any PDF reader. To use the hyperlinked index, GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or your web browser all work well.

Why does it say “JDMA Nursing School”?

MedStudies is the new name of JDMA Nursing School. Same author, same guide, which is why some pages still show the old name.

Where do I start if my exam is close?

Start with the classification of microorganisms and the infections by body system, then use the quizzes to find what you still miss.

Still here? Then it's the nine dollars, not the guide.
