Practical Atlas for Bacterial Identification

by D. Roy Cullimore

Overview

Published nearly ten years ago, the first edition of Practical Atlas for Bacterial Identification broke new ground with the wealth of detail and breadth of information it provided.

Editorial Reviews

Cullimore (Regina Water Research Institute, U. of Regina, U.K.) presents a pictorial approach to common understandings of bacterial identification. Rather than discuss the molecular particulars of bacteria, he represents the shared characteristics of various families of bacteria. Also included are discussions of the techniques applied to obtain identification cultures and descriptions of the major groups of bacteria. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
