Overview

Stephen Gillespie and a panel of leading clinical and diagnostic microbiologists describe a series of detailed molecular and physical methods designed to study the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, as well as facilitate new antibiotic research programs for its effective redress. The techniques range widely from those that provide rapid diagnosis via DNA amplification and phage display, to those for plotting the transmission of resistant organisms and investigating their epidemiology. The methods are readily adaptable to a wide range of resistant bacterial organisms. Practical and wide-ranging, Antibiotic Resistance: Methods and Protocols provides a collection of indispensable techniques not only for illuminating the basic biology of antimicrobial resistance, but also for developing and implementing new diagnostic and epidemiological tools.

Reviews

an excellent, well-produced book, full of protocols on a range of modern molecular techniques, applicable not only to research on antibiotics resistance, but to general microbiology. The articles are of a uniformly high standard, well illustrated and referenced, which act as logical easy to follow protocols. this book is a must for anyone involved in research on antibiotic resistance; equally all microbiologists who use modern molecular methods should consult it in the expectation of finding well-described established techniques and numerous cutting-edge developments. - MicroBiology Today
