A new book in theMethods in Molecular Biologyseries, Listeria monocytogenes: Methods and Protocolsaddresses its titular pathogen with protocols and methodologies used in research to gain a better understanding ofListeriaat a molecular level. The topics covered include sampling in order to isolateListeria, methods for their identification and characterization, methods for gene manipulation and finally, methods for control of the organism. Written in the highly successfulMethods in Molecular Biologyseries format, chapters include introductions to their respective subjects, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Vital and authoritative, Listeria monocytogenes: Methods and Protocolsaims to contribute to the harmonization of the methods used in the field and will therefore benefit all those interested in Listeria research. | Listeria monocytogenes by Kieran Jordan, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
