In HaemophilusiInfluenzae Protocols, leading research scientists and infectious
disease specialists detail in a readily reproducible format the major molecular
and immunological techniques for exploring the pathogenicity of H. influenzae.
Described with step-by-instructions to ensure robust and successful experimental
results, the techniques cover plasmid analysis, proteomics, genomics, DNA array
technology, gene expression, mutagenesis (transposon and nontransposon), and
structural analysis. These methods illuminate how the bacterium causes disease,
as well as how best to develop novel vaccines and antibiotics against the
organism.
