Description
Taylor and Francis Handbook Of Animal Bacteriology 2Nd Edition by Hansen A K
The Handbook of Laboratory Animal Bacteriology, Second Edition provides comprehensive information on all bacterial phylae found in laboratory rodents and rabbits to assist managers, veterinary pathologists and laboratory animal veterinarians in the management of these organisms. The book starts by examining the general aspects of bacteriology and how to sample and identify bacteria in animals. It then describes the most relevant species within each phylum and discusses the impact they may have on research. Emphasizing those bacteria known to interfere with research protocols, the book offers methods for isolation and differentiation among related bacteria. It discusses where to purchase reagents for rodent bacteriology and outlines standards for safety in a bacteriological laboratory. The book is essential reading for those interested in the management of organisms known to interfere with the colony health of rabbits and rodents used in research protocols―including facility managers, clinical veterinarians, veterinary pathologists, and researchers.
