Staphylococcus Epidermidis

Due to the highly collaborative nature of investigators working in the field, we have rapidly advanced our understanding of Staphylococcus epidermidis and other staphylococci in the last two decades. The chapters in Staphylococcus Epidermidis: Methods and Protocols are designed to give the new investigator a series of tools so they can ask novel and exciting questions related to the biology of this opportunistic pathogen, as many exciting and unexplored questions such as defining the interaction of S. epidermidis and other normal flora remain to be discovered. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and easily accessible, Staphylococcus Epidermidis: Methods and Protocols seeks to serve both professionals and novices with its well-honed methodologies.

From the reviews:

This 19-chapter book is entirely focused on everything you might ever want to know about Staphylococcus epidermidis. … This book would be of great interest to anyone working with Staphylococcus epidermidis, particularly those in a research setting. … many chapters come fully equipped with detailed experimental protocols ready for you to try in your laboratory. If you have any interest in any aspect of Staphylococcus epidermidis, you will want to read and likely own this book.” (Valerie L. Ng, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2014)
