Description
This manual teaches theoretical and practical molecular genetic approaches to bacterial pathogenicity. Chapters on concepts, technologies and applications are followed by 15 experiments with Salmonella and Vibrio, in which protocols and expected findings are demonstrated and strategies for similar approaches to other bacteria are discussed. This manual is aimed at microbiologists in research, industrial and public health laboratories.
