Informationen zum Autor Dr. Dongyou Liu! DVM is currently a Research Scientist at Human Genetic Signatures in North Ryde! NSW! Australia. Klappentext The second book in a four-part series! this text is an in-depth review of state-of-the-art molecular detection and identification methods for human bacterial pathogens. With each chapter written by scientists with expertise in respective human pathogen research! this book is an authoritative summary of biology! epidemiology! and pathogenesis of major human bacterial pathogens. This book is a handy textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in medical! veterinary! and food microbiology! and contains approximately 750 figures and 750 tables for better comprehension. Topics in this text include classification! morphology and biology! epidemiology! genomics! and diagnoses. Zusammenfassung As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the literature! it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these protocols to know which are most appropriate to adopt for accurate identification of bacterial pathogens. Molecular Detection of Human Bacterial Pathogens addresses this issue! with international scientists in respective bacterial pathogen research and diagnosis providing expert summaries on current diagnostic approaches for major human bacterial pathogens. Each chapter consists of a brief review on the classification! epidemiology! clinical features! and diagnosis of an important pathogenic bacterial genus! an outline of clinical sample collection and preparation procedures! a selection of representative stepwise molecular protocols! and a discussion on further research requirements relating to improved diagnosis. This book represents a reliable and convenient reference on molecular detection and identification of major human bacterial pathogens; an indispensable tool for upcoming and experienced medical! veterinary! and industrial laboratory scientists engaged in bacterial characterization; and an essential textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in microbiology.
