Overview
Provides a description of the species, biology and behavior of contemporary problematic, opportunistic disease-causing pathogenic microbes that challenge musculoskeletal health
Describes current diagnostic techniques for pathogenic species and educates the reader on the present challenges and any promising novel and emergent diagnostic strategies and technologies that are in the pipeline
Compares and comments on contemporary clinical treatment and prevention strategies for adults and children
