Mycobacteria Protocols
Due to the rising threat of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, methods to study the biology of the mycobacteria and to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventative reagents are still very much in need. Mycobacteria Protocols, Second Edition updates and refines the methods of the we...
