Since the publication of the last edition of "Principles and Practice of Clinical Bacteriology", our understanding of bacterial genetics and pathogenicity has been transformed due to the availability of whole genome sequences and new technologies such as proteomics and transcriptomics. The present, completely revised second edition of this greatly valued work has been developed to integrate thi…
The first edition of this book established itself as the most widely used, concise guide to procedures in clinical microbiology laboratories. Now that it has been extensively updated, the book represents a state-of-the-art training aid for the diagnostic microbiology laboratory. Invaluable to microbiologists preparing for higher professional examinations such as the American Board of Medical Mi…
Based on the data contained in the four-volume Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, BMDB-9 also includes new genera and species, new combinations, and new taxa published through the January 1992 issue of the IJSB. Users will find short general descriptions that encompass all organisms by Groups; shape and size, Gram reaction, other pertinent morphological features, motility and flagella,…
One of the most authoritative works in bacterial taxonomy, this resource has been extensively revised. This five volume second edition has been reorganized along phylogenetic lines to reflect the current state of prokaryotic taxonomy. In addition to the detailed treatments provided for all of the validly named and well-known species of prokaryotes, this edition includes new ecological informati…
