Summary

The objective of this book is to present a critical review and evaluation of the so-called conventional methods currently being used for bacterial identification, as well as to discuss the new approaches for the detection and identification of bacteria. Morphological, biochemical, and serological methods of detection and identification of bacteria in clinical specimens are emphasised, and current methods of characterization and enumeration of bacteria in air, water, milk, and other food materials are also described.
