Description
This revised and updated edition of a book on microbiological techniques covering clinical material, food, drink, and environmental and veterinary specimens. For the new edition several chapters have been completely rewritten, and all others extensively updated, to bring them in line with recent developments and legal requirements. New material on quality assurance and automated techniques has been included. The book still contains information on basic techniques essential for those new to microbiology as well as those in areas where modern technology is not readily available. This book is aimed at all those involved with microbiological specimens, especially microbiologists, medical laboratory scientific officers and environmental/public health officers.
Reviews / Votes
Many laboratories will have an edition of this book in their libraries and students of microbiology will have found it useful as a guiding bench book in microbiological technique. This revised edition is recommended for both, as complementary to the laboratory library and invaluable to the trainee as support for academic and practical experience.Journal of Medical Microbiology, October 1995
..a very worthwhile bench book which provides an excellent introduction to practical microbiology in an easy-to-use form.'
SGM Quarterly (Soc. Gen. Microbiology), February 1
I suggest that each new graduate in the microbiology laboratory should be made to read the opening chapters of this book and then continue on to the practicabilities of microbiology.'
