Due to the highly collaborative nature of investigators working in the field, we have rapidly advanced our understanding of
Staphylococcus epidermidis
and other staphylococci in the last two decades. The chapters in
Staphylococcus Epidermidis: Methods and Prools
are designed to give the new investigator a series of tools so they can ask novel and exciting questions related to the biology of this opportunistic pathogen, as many exciting and unexplored questions such as defining the interaction of
S. epidermidis
and other normal flora remain to be discovered. Written in the successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible prools, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and easily accessible,
seeks to serve both professionals and novices with its well-honed methodologies.
