Handbook Of Microbiological Media Fourth Edition

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The commercial availability of standard bacteriological media has largely eliminated the need for preparation of such media by most laboratories. As a result, the composition of such media is generally overlooked. Atlas (Univ. of Louisville) provides an encyclopedia on the subject as well as a comprehensive reference containing compositions of all standard media. The book begins with an overview of the subject, defining terms and providing an extensive list of references. This section includes a summary of sterilization techniques ranging from historical (Tyndallization) to contemporary (modern autoclave). The inclusion of Web resources provides an additional source of information. The major portion of the book consists of more than 7,000 formulations of media, both common and obscure and specialized, and methods of preparation. This latest edition (1st ed., CH, Jan'94, 31-5434) also includes composition of media for identification of newly recognized pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157 and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In addition to the specific media entries within the book, the index includes a listing of microorganisms along with media conducive for their growth. The volume would be a necessary reference for any academic or professional laboratory that is growing bacteria. Summing Up: Recommended. Microbiology collections serving upper-division undergraduates and above. Upper-division Undergraduates; Graduate Students; Researchers/Faculty; Professionals/Practitioners. Reviewed by R. Adler.
