Bacteriology Methods for the Study of Infectious Diseases

Bacteriology Methods for the Study of Infectious Diseases provides knowledge, understanding and experience of contemporary, robust methodologies for studies into the pathogenicity and virulence of human/animal bacterial pathogens. This book presents contemporary, yet widely utilized methodologies, for the study of pathogenicity and virulence in bacterial pathogens of human and/or animal origin. Protocols are clearly outlined, with lists of required equipment and reagents, alongside underpinning theory. This text will provide undergraduate and postgraduate students with practical guidance for dissertation projects with protocols for individual project ideas that can be developed further, hence a starting point for additional literature searches is also provided.



- Helps users research dissertations and interdisciplinary research projects

- Presents a valuable resource that enables researchers from diverse backgrounds to undertake research within the field of infectious diseases

- Summarizes protocols that give a fundamental start to research, but are highly adaptable or can be built upon and integrated into other methodologies

- Provides knowledge, understanding and experience of contemporary, robust methodologies for studies into the pathogenicity and virulence of human/animal bacterial pathogens
