We determine the low-energy description of N=2 supersymmetric {Pi}{sub i} SU(k{sub i}) gauge theories with bifundamental and fundamental matter based on M-theory five-brane configurations. The dependence on moduli and scales of the coefficients in the nonhyperelliptic Seiberg-Witten curves for these theories are determined by considering various field theory and brane limits. A peculiarity in the interpretation of these curves for the vanishing {beta}-function case is noted. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
