Online Microbiology Manual

A comprehensive source of high-quality microbiologic methods developed by leading investigators around the world is now available on the Internet via Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).

"Current Protocols in Microbiology” covers the broad field of microbiology with experimental methods devised to facilitate the study of microorganisms vital to medicine, agriculture, industry, and the environment. Functional genomics tools such as nucleic acid microarrays and high-throughput mass-spectrometry are also utilized in these new protocols. Also included are detailed methods for isolating, propagating, and performing genetic manipulation in a wide range of bacteria, animal, and plant viruses; experimental procedures to assist scientists in identifying new drug targets and antimicrobial agents; and promising genomic and proteomic approaches to the study of microbial pathogenesis, microflora, and other applications.

"Our overall aim is to help advance the full spectrum of microbiology for the public good and to foster discovery, which is the driving force of the continuously evolving life sciences,” said Joe Ingram, vice president and executive publisher of Current Protocols. "As a comprehensive source, Current Protocols in Microbiology offers basic methods for novice researchers or investigators new to the field of microbiology. In addition, experienced investigators will find cutting-edge methods published in Current Protocols to move their research into new areas of investigation.”

Wiley is offering a free online trial through January 2006 to institutions that presently subscribe to any of the other twelve Current Protocols titles through Wiley InterScience.

Current Protocols is edited by scientists from Weill Medical College of Cornell University, the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Texas A&M University System Medical School, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, and Dartmouth Medical School--all in the United States.
