Does anyone recommend using the First Aid Step 1 Microbiology section review for Infectious Diseases tested for Step 2?
 
I think that's prob overkill. Know the common bugs for things like soft tissue ifx, pna, otitis, etc, which drugs to give and like when to suspect and cover for pseudo.

I would recommend against using FA for step 1 to prepare for ID/Micro for step 2. Micro tested on step 2 is much more clinical and I found Uworld questions and exposure during medicine clerkship/Sub-I to be sufficient.
