Bacterial Population Genetics in Infectious Disease

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."how to" of bacterial population genetics, which covers an extremely large range of organismsExpanding area of science due to high-throughput genome sequencing of bacterial pathogensCovers both fundamental approaches to analyzing bacterial population structures with conceptual background in bacterial population biologyDetailed treatment of statistical methods
