Review Texts
[ACVM wording] There are many excellent and useful textbooks available. Pay particular attention to the most recent editions of the listed examples. The figures, diagrams and photographs in texts are particularly useful in preparing for the subspecialty (Part II) examinations. The following are examples of some textbooks that will be helpful. The list is not all-inclusive, nor is it necessary to study all texts:
- Veterinary Microbiology and Microbial Diseases, 2002, Quinn et al.
- Essentials of Veterinary Microbiology, 5th ed., 1995, Carter et al. [NB: Sixth edition (2004) is Essentials of veterinary bacteriology and mycology]

Read current scientific literature. Read thoroughly and critically all journals you feel to be pertinent. This is a formidable, but not impossible task. Place greater emphasis on refereed journals. Figures and diagrams in journals are particularly useful for the subspecialty (Part II) examination. [NB: No list of journals was provided by ACVM--here is a list of all NCSU Libraries' journal titles containing the word "microbiology"]
