Bacterial Population Genetics in Infectious Disease (eBook)

D. Ashley Robinson is an Associate Professor of Microbiology at The University of Mississippi Medical Center. Her specialties include bacterial genetics, microbial evolution and antimicrobial resistance, among others. Daniel Falush is a Research Fellow in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford, where he specializes in mathematical biology, particularly mathematical genetics and bioinformatics. Edward Feil is a Reader in Microbial Evolution at University of Bath. He studies bacterial evolution and genetic recombination as well as the biogeography of pathogenic bacteria.

"I enjoyed reading Chapters 9, 12, and 15 because these topics
interested me. Other chapters can be recommended as sources of
citations for specialists interested in those particular bacteria."
(The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 December 2011)

"On the whole, this book is of general interest for teachers of
microbiology, who need to explain bacteriology in the genomic age,
and it may also help clinical microbiologists choose tools for
identifying circulating clones. Finally, it can be useful to
specialists in the field of emerging bacteria for whom the need to
synthesize genomic data is part of their professional routine. I
recommend this book most strongly for all of these bacteriology
specialists." (Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, 1 March
