Molecular Detection of Human Fungal Pathogens

Informationen zum Autor Dongyou Liu! Ph.D. has worked in research and clinical laboratories in Australia and the United States! focusing on molecular characterization and virulence determination of microbial pathogens such as human hydatid tapeworm (Echinococcus granulosus)! ovine footrot bacterium (Dichelobacter nodosus)! dermatophyte fungi (Trichophyton! Microsporum! and Epidermophyton)! and listeriae (Listeria species). He is the senior author of over 50 original research and review articles in various international journals as well as the editor of several recent biomedical books. Zusammenfassung The large number of molecular protocols available creates a dilemma for those attempting to adopt the most appropriate for streamlined identification and detection of fungal pathogens of interest. Molecular Detection of Human Fungal Pathogens provides a reliable and comprehensive resource relating the molecular detection and identification of major human fungal pathogens.This volume contains expert contributions from international mycologists involved in fungal pathogen research and diagnosis. Following a similar format throughout! each chapter comprises:A brief review of the classification! epidemiology! clinical features! and diagnosis of one or a group of related fungal speciesAn outline of clinical sample collection and preparation proceduresA selection of representative stepwise molecular detection protocolsA discussion on further research requirements for improving the diagnosisThe book offers an indispensable tool for medical! veterinary! and industrial laboratory scientists working in the area of fungal determination. It also constitutes a convenient textbook for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in microbiology and is an essential guide for upcoming and experienced laboratory scientists wishing to acquire and polish their skills in molecular diagnosis of fungal diseases.
