From the reviews:

„An eclectic collection of papers ranges from those with limited general applications, to those with a much broader interest. … The additional notes in each paper are most useful, and may help those making use of these techniques avoid some of the frustrations associated with following methodologies in published journal papers. … a volume to dip into seeking inspiration for new techniques to apply to one’s own favourite organism.“ (Jonathan Fletcher, Microbiology Today, July, 2008)

„This book was written to bring scientists working in the field of bacterial pathogenesis up-to-date with both traditional tried-and-tested methods that have been in use for decades, and more recent technological advances and breakthroughs that have led to the development of new protocols. … On the whole this book is very informative and includes an extensive set of complex and detailed protocols. … I would recommend to anyone in the field or thinking of entering the field of bacterial pathogenesis.“ (Andrew Vaughan, Immunology News, August, 2008)

„The 431st volume of Methods in Molecular Biology published by Humana Press is dedicated to the problems of bacterial pathogenesis. ... Each chapter is concluded by an exhaustive list of references. ... By its high level of interest and schematic approach the book is suitable not only for scientists dealing with bacterial pathogenesis ... but it can be recommended also for graduate students in microbiology who are about to start their scientific career.“ (K. Tyllovâ, Folia Microbiologica, Vol. 53, November, 2008)
