"Techniques used to study adhesion of microbes to a wide variety of different surfaces of medical significance are presented. . .The diversity of different microbe-surface interactions covered is probably the most unique aspect of the text. . .This book is a broad survey of techniques and approaches used to study bacterial adhesion, with a heavy emphasis on topics of medical significance. The emphasis on approaches and techniques to study adhesion distinguishes this book from others that deal with the mechanisms of bacterial adhesion. . . the text will provide a useful resource for researchers studying bacterial adhesion."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
