The molecular diagnostics landscape has transformed dramatically since the last edition of Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice in 2011. With the broadening of molecular testing and the development of new technologies and their opportunities, laboratory physicians and professionals more than ever need a resource to help them navigate this rapidly developing field.
Editors Fred Tenover and David Persing have brought together a group of experienced researchers and diagnosticians to update this third edition comprehensively, to provide the latest developments in molecular diagnostics in the support of clinical care and of basic and clinical research, including next-generation sequencing and whole-genome analysis. These updates are given in an easy-to-read format and supported by a broad range of practical advice, like determining the appropriate type and quantity of a specimen, releasing and concentrating the targets, and eliminating inhibitors.
