Features: This is a guide centered on medical microbiology, also covering fundamental microbiology and other related microbiological experimental techniques. It systematically elaborates on basic experimental techniques in microbiology, experimental techniques related to microbiology, microbial detection in various environments, biological warfare agents and their detection, etc. The appendix lists common reagent formulations. The entire book emphasizes the systematicity, advanced nature, and practicality of its content. In terms of topic selection, it focuses on the isolation and identification of pathogenic microorganisms, including both conventional experimental methods and interdisciplinary techniques related to microbiology (such as cell culture technology, clinical immunological analysis techniques, animal experimental techniques, electrophoresis techniques, etc.). It also pays attention to incorporating rapidly developing and urgently needed content in the field of microbiology, such as molecular biology techniques including chip technology, the detection of newly discovered microorganisms like SARS virus and avian influenza virus, and the detection of biological warfare agents. In terms of presentation style, it avoids excessive preliminaries for fundamental theories and instead focuses on the operation and application examples of experimental techniques, particularly in areas with concentrated applications, such as clinical specimens, hospital infections, environmental and food testing, etc., with dedicated chapters to highlight key points and emphasize the operability of technical methods. For those engaged in related research, this book serves as an excellent experimental guide. Individuals involved in microbiology teaching, scientific research, and applied technology research, especially those working in clinical laboratory testing, the prevention and control of microbial diseases, and food safety monitoring, will find this book to be a reference and guiding resource for their work.
