This fully revised and up-to-date edition of this classic bench book continues to provide definitive guidance to traditional and conventional microbiological techniques, as well as recent innovations and automated methods for the isolation, identification and testing of bacteria and fungi of medical, public health and food hygiene importance. This edition also covers the safe handling of, and legal issues relating to work with, pathogenic micro-organisms. The highly-regarded author group, now expanded to provide a North American perspective, have once again provided a comprehensive text, not only of methods, but also the media in which the bacteria are cultivated, and a succinct chapter on each bacterium and genus.

This new edition covers information on the current practices and future developments in the diagnosis of tuberculosis and other microbacterial diseases. Practical aspects of identification and drug susceptibility are discussed in a concise style.Tuberculosis was declared a global emergency by the World Health Organisation in 1993 owing to the increase in the disease in many developed and developing nations. The problem is compounded by the occurrence of multi-drug resistance and an association with the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Success in the control and prevention of the disease depends on early detection and treatment of infectious patients. This edition describes the role played by the laboratory in achieving these objectives and includes extensive revision to laboratory safety issues.
