About this book
Reviews
"The methods described are clearly written in a 'recipe' format . . .easy to follow and annotated with detailed notes. The amount of detail provided will enable investigators to get the methods working using this book alone."-Journal of Medical Microbiology
"This is an excellent, concise, and comprehensive manual. . .a very useful addition to the library of any laboratory wanting to take advantage of the exciting developments this new technology provides."-Molecular Biotechnology
"Drs. Peeling and Sparling have assembled a team of 24 international experts to prepare this volume, which is the first publication devoted solely to the molecular diagnosis of sexually transmitted diseases. This book is particularly timely in that describes state-of-the-art methods for detecting sexually transmitted infections using molecular biology techniques, provides insights about the relative strengths and weaknesses of a number of different commercial and nonproprietary assays, and includes commentary on the traditional culture or serology procedures for detecting and characterizing bacterial and viral infections....this is a very useful volume that provides both reference information as well as step-by-step protocols for performance of various molecular-based assays for detection of sexually transmitted pathogens. Any clinical laboratory that uses such technology for diagnostic testing, screening, or through a reference laboratory will find this textbook useful."-American Journal of Clinical Pathology
"This volume will help to achieve a rapid detection of the causative agents, which is a prerequisite for appropriate measures....It is concisely written, and should be used in the respective laboratories for either implementation of the procedures described or for critical review of own inhouse methods."-International Journal of Medical Microbiology
