About the Book

This book is a unique synthesis of the major concepts and methods in bacterial population genetics in infectious disease, a field that is now about 35 yrs old. Emphasis is given to explaining population-level processes that shape genetic variation in bacterial populations and statistical methods of analysis of bacterial genetic data. A "how to" of bacterial population genetics, which covers an extremely large range of organisms Expanding area of science due to high-throughput genome sequencing of bacterial pathogens Covers both fundamental approaches to analyzing bacterial population structures with conceptual background in bacterial population biology Detailed treatment of statistical methods

About the Author :
D. Ashley Robinson is an Associate Professor of Microbiology at The University of Mississippi Medical Center. Her specialties include bacterial genetics, microbial evolution and antimicrobial resistance, among others. Daniel Falush is a Research Fellow in the Department of Statistics at the University of Oxford, where he specializes in mathematical biology, particularly mathematical genetics and bioinformatics. Edward Feil is a Reader in Microbial Evolution at University of Bath. He studies bacterial evolution and genetic recombination as well as the biogeography of pathogenic bacteria.

Review :
"I enjoyed reading Chapters 9, 12, and 15 because these topics interested me. Other chapters can be recommended as sources of citations for specialists interested in those particular bacteria." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 December 2011) "On the whole, this book is of general interest for teachers of microbiology, who need to explain bacteriology in the genomic age, and it may also help clinical microbiologists choose tools for identifying circulating clones. Finally, it can be useful to specialists in the field of emerging bacteria for whom the need to synthesize genomic data is part of their professional routine. I recommend this book most strongly for all of these bacteriology specialists." (Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, 1 March 2011)
