This volume provides a comprehensive collection of prools on molecular diagnostics of bacteria that will suit the needs of molecular biologists, clinical laboratorians, and physician scientists alike. Chapters detail common bacterial pathogens, prools that can be applied to diverse or even unknown pathogens, digital PCR, next generation sequencing, and bioinformatic analyses. Written in the highly successful
Methods inMolecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical,
Diagnostic Bacteriology: Methods and Prools
delivers a widerange of assay types all on the cutting edge of diagnostic bacteriology.
