Description
Humana Press Inc. Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (Mrsa) Protocols by Yinduo Ji
This book provides a comprehensive collection of the most up-to-date techniques for the detection and investigation of MRSA. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction to the method and purpose, and then goes into detailed protocols for every step of analysis. Several chapters also include a section with tips not usually found in methods books. These tips may represent the difference between immediate success and lengthy troubleshooting._x000D_ _x000D_
