This fully updated edition explores current techniques for research into antibiotic resistance. The book begins with how samples are collected, strains isolated and sequenced, and the results integrated in the microbiological workflow. It continues with novel methods to test resistance and interactions between antibiotics, physiological conditions, or using innovative tools like the hollow fiber or Raman spectroscopy, as well as mathematical models that can describe resistance within host. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
