Download Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice 3rd Edition PDF Free

The molecular diagnostics landscape has changed dramatically since the last edition of Molecular Microbiology: Diagnostic Principles and Practice in 2011. With the spread of molecular testing and the development of new technologies and their opportunities, laboratory professionals and physicians more than ever need a resource to help them navigate this rapidly evolving field.

Editors David Persing and Fred Tenover have brought together a team of experienced researchers and diagnosticians to update this third edition comprehensively, to present the latest developments in molecular diagnostics in the support of clinical care and of basic and clinical research, including next-generation sequencing and whole-genome analysis. These updates are provided in an easy-to-read format and supported by a broad range of practical advice, such as determining the appropriate type and quantity of a specimen, releasing and concentrating the targets, and eliminating inhibitors.

David H. Persing

Dr. Persing is the Executive Vice President and Chief Medical and Technology Officer at Cepheid and Consulting Professor of Pathology at Stanford University School of Medicine. Over the past 25 years, he has held leadership roles in academia and industry, starting with the design, implementation, and operation of the first PCR laboratory at the Mayo Clinic in the early 1990s. His interest in the democratization of molecular diagnostic methods has been longstanding, starting in 1993 with publication the first widely adopted textbook to include PCR protocols and guidelines for laboratory operations. His more recent work has focused on the enablement of molecular diagnostic technology to meet global needs. He has published over 300 peer reviewed articles and reviews, many of which are considered seminal works in the field. He has served as Editor in Chief for 5 textbooks published by ASM Press.
