About the Book

Ananthanarayan and Paniker's Textbook of Microbiology is one of the most widely used and long-standing microbiology textbooks for medical students in South Asia. First published in 1978, the book has served as a trusted resource for more than four decades, continually evolving alongside the rapidly changing field of medical microbiology to remain relevant for successive generations of MBBS and BDS students.

Written specifically with countries like India in mind, the book was developed by Dr. R Ananthanarayan and Dr. CK Jayaram Paniker based on their combined experience of over two decades teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students. The textbook is organized into five units spanning general microbiology, immunology, systematic bacteriology, virology, and mycology, and includes clinical cases relevant to individual organisms to connect core microbiology concepts with real infectious disease presentations. The current edition has been thoroughly revised to align with the National Medical Commission's (NMC) Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum, which integrates microbiology into a more system-based approach to human disease, reflecting recent developments across both global and local infectious disease patterns. As one of the standard textbooks assigned across medical colleges for second-year MBBS microbiology, it remains a widely recognized and frequently referenced resource, valued for its systematic coverage and its integration of pathology and clinical medicine into microbiological learning.
