Bordetella is the causative agent of pertussis or whooping cough. It is almost twenty years since the last book totally devoted to Bordetella was published. Since then, research on Bordetella has made extensive use of molecular biology approaches, including genomics and post-genomics, and an enormous amount of new information has become available. Worldwide, pertussis still kills between 200,000 and 400,000 children each year, and the disease still ranks 6th among the causes of death due to infection. A more profound molecular understanding of Bordetella...

The premiere two-volume reference on revelations from studying complex microbial communities in many distinct habitats

Metagenomics is an emerging field that has changed the way microbiologists study microorganisms. It involves the genomic analysis of microorganisms by extraction and cloning of DNA from a group of microorganisms, or the direct use of the purified DNA or RNA for sequencing, which allows scientists to bypass the usual protocol of isolating and culturing individual microbial species. This method is now used in laboratories across the globe to study microorganism...
