you know paheli - the best things that remember the bugs are our memory helper T cells
so you know what to do... increase the memory T cell count!!!

best way i think is do uw q bank and kaplan q bank of microbiology (both are excellent) and note down the q summary next to the topic in kaplan micro notes.next time u read it ,u surely will get a link to rememberance.
also approach full micro in terms of that table given in FA which summerises all gram negative and positive bacteria in a flow chart
and if u really want to do more than suppliment this with MMRS.MMRS is an excellent suppliment.
whan u read kaplan many a times u read a stuff and wonder ""WHY".MMRS ANSWERS ALL THOSE WHYS!
PLUS IT INDEED IS AN EXCELLENT VISUAL AND JOKE BASED AID TO LEARNING.
AND SOME CHAPTER IN MMRS ARE ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING

I have resorted to using CMMRS as well. Many people have recommended this book to me for micro.
