• Bacterial Pathogens, Microbial Infections, Diagnostic Microbiology, Antibiotic Resistance, Zoonotic Diseases, Veterinary Pathology, Bacteriological Techniques, Infectious Agents, Veterinary Epidemiology, Bacterial Culture, Microbial Identification, Veterinary Microbiology, Bacterial Genetics, Antimicrobial Susceptibility, Bacterial Diseases, Molecular Diagnostics, Bacterial Virulence, Bacterial Pathogenesis, Animal Health, Bacterial Isolation, Microbial Genetics, Veterinary Immunology, Pathogenic Bacteria, Veterinary Laboratory, Bacterial Taxonomy

    The second edition of the book consists of a comprehensive and systematic Veterinary Bacteriology. The general Bacteriology section includes an introduction to and history of Microbiology, bacterial classification and nomenclature, microscopy and micrometry, bacterial staining techniques, bacterial structure and morphology, growth and nutritional requirements, infection types and sources, pathogenicity and virulence determinants, epizootic and enzootic diseases, bacterial toxins, bacterial genetics involving mutation, transformation, transduction, and conjugation, as well as plasmids and antibiotic resistance.

    The systematic Bacteriology section presents updated information on each bacterial genus's history, morphology, classification, resistance, natural habitat, genome, isolation and colony characteristics, biochemical and antigenic properties, pathogenesis, diseases caused, and diagnosis, as they relate to animal and human health. This revised edition will be beneficial for individuals working as Government Veterinarians, independent animal health practitioners, or in laboratories for the diagnosis of animal diseases.

    The book provides diagnostic techniques for each bacterial genus, ranging from staining methods to molecular tools, along with useful color photographs.
