Levinson's 'Medical Microbiology and Immunology', 2004, (Jawetz was his coauthor, but he died) is much more comprehesive, torough, complete and up-to-date, than MRS, plus it has immunology part also. Only drawback is that it may be time-consuming. Only plus of MRS is very good and entertaining mnemonics, some of them are not working though. If your aim is very high score on step 1, I can recommend Levinson + 'Kaplan Lecture Notes: Microbiology'.
