Request a sales quoteThis book and its companion, Volume I, concentrate on new procedures--especially those based on the new molecular methodology--developed within the past decade. This volume deals with the new genetic and immunological tools applied to the diagnosis of mycoplasma infections of humans, animals, plants, insects, and all cultures. Volume I outlines the approaches, techniques, and procedures applied to cell and molecular biology studies of mycoplasmas.
- Diagnostic genetic probes
- Immunological tools
- Antibiotic sensitivity testing
- Diagnosis of specific diseases
- Experimental infections
- Diagnosis of mycoplasma infections of cell cultures
Microbiologists, virologists, molecular biologists, clinicians, and plant pathologists.
