"Provides both a theoretical & practical framework for diagnosing microbial pathogens in the clinical laboratory."
Booknews
A reference-text providing both the theoretical and practical framework for understanding the uses of nucleic acid amplification technologies and for applying these techniques to the detection and characterization of microbial pathogens (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) in the clinical laboratory. The nine chapters in part I (Principles) summarize the basic scientific theory underlying the emerging discipline of molecular diagnostics. The 66 protocols in part II (Applications) offer proven applications of molecular diagnostic techniques for the diagnosis of infectious diseases--essentially a compendium of "molecular recipes" from leading laboratories around the world.
