Microbial Pathogens

Within the past centuries laboratory diagnostic has rapidly evolved in a variety of fields, for instance in clinical chemistry. In comparison to clinical chemistry, microbiological diagnostic is relatively slow because time consuming bacterial growth is essential. Bacterial growth is necessary to obtain populations consisting of only one bacterial species, e.g., when samples are examined physiologically containing various species of microorganisms. Moreover, species identification commonly relies on the ability of microorganisms to metabolize energy sources, e.g., various sugars, and also these analyses are time consuming. Within the past years MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, previously used especially in research laboratories, has been developed right up to usage in commercial high throughput labs allowing acceleration of species identification even in routine diagnostics. Reich et al. describe implementation of this new technique in a commercial lab for microbiological analyses. Diagnostic Methods of Microbial Pathogens- Stefan Borgmann OMICS Group International is one of the leading Open Access Publishers which is running 700+ peer-reviewed journals with quality articles. Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology is one of the best journals which publish world quality articles. Journal of Bacteriology & Parasitology is a wide range of area that deals with bacterial and parasitic infections.
