Reviews for Bacterial Population Genetics in Infectious Disease
"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, ... Read more
