Presenting the latest molecular diagnostic techniques in one
comprehensive volume
The molecular diagnostics landscape has changed dramatically since the
last edition of Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and
Practice in 2011. With the spread of molecular testing and the
development of new technologies and their opportunities, laboratory
professionals and physicians more than ever need a resource to help them
navigate this rapidly evolving field.
Editors David Persing and Fred Tenover have brought together a team of
experienced researchers and diagnosticians to update this third edition
comprehensively, to present the latest developments in molecular
diagnostics in the support of clinical care and of basic and clinical
research, including next-generation sequencing and whole-genome
analysis. These updates are provided in an easy-to-read format and
supported by a broad range of practical advice, such as determining the
appropriate type and quantity of a specimen, releasing and concentrating
the targets, and eliminating inhibitors.
Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice
- Presents the latest basic scientific theory underlying molecular
diagnostics
- Offers tested and proven applications of molecular diagnostics for the
diagnosis of infectious diseases, including point-of-care testing
- Illustrates and summarizes key concepts and techniques with detailed
figures and tables
- Discusses emerging technologies, including the use of molecular typing
methods for real-time tracking of infectious outbreaks and antibiotic
resistance
- Advises on the latest quality control and quality assurance measures
- Explores the increasing opportunities and capabilities of information
technology
Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice is a
textbook for molecular diagnostics courses that can also be used by
anyone involved with diagnostic test selection and interpretation. It is
also a useful reference for laboratories and as a continuing education
resource for physicians.
