Methods in Microbiology, Volume 27: Bacterial Pathogenesis (Methods in Microbiology (Cloth))

Established almost 30 years ago, Methods in Microbiology is the most prestigious series devoted to techniques and methodology in the field. Now totally revamped, revitalized, with a new format and expanded scope, Methods in Microbiology will continue to provide you with tried and tested, cutting-edge protocols to directly benefit your research.

• Focuses on the methods most useful for the microbiologist interested in the way in which bacteria cause disease
• Includes section devoted to 'Approaches to characterising pathogenic mechanisms' by Stanley Falkow
• Covers safety aspects, detection, identification and speciation
• Includes techniques for the study of host interactions and reactions in animals and plants
• Describes biochemical and molecular genetic approaches
• Essential methods for gene expression and analysis
• Covers strategies and problems for disease control

Established for almost 30 years, Methods in Microbiology is the most prestigious series devoted to techniques and methodology in the field. Now totally revamped, revitalised, with a new format and expanded scope, Methods in Microbiology will continue to provide you with tried and tested, cutting edge protocols to directly benefit your research.

Bacterial Pathogenesis, edited by recognised experts in the field, presents the most appropriate, up-to-date techniques in the detail you require. The layout is structured for ease of reference, and the volume will be essential reading for all researchers working in immunology of infectious diseases and plant pathogenicity.

This new volume provides a carefully selected collection of techniques for the microbiologist wishing to study the interactions between bacteria and their targets, whether human, animal or plant. A multi-author book, it has succeeded in bringing together experts from various fields of molecular biology who provide technical approaches and recipes for the analysis of host-pathogen interactions.
