Molecular Microbiology

Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice takes an innovative approach to the dramatic and exciting advances in diagnostic microbiology. A diverse team of editors presents an authoritative and comprehensive cutting-edge text. An earlier publication, Diagnostic Molecular Microbiology: Principles and Applications, served as the foundation for this new text in a field that continues to expand. Section one covers topics such as reviews of DNA probe technologies and amplification methods, while section two is an in-depth treatment of the use of molecular technologies to detect and characterize bacterial, fungal, and parasitic pathogens. Coverage is given to other vital topics as well. This forward looking text will appeal to microbiologists, pathologists, infectious diseases specialists, and their technologists and trainees.
