THEORY AND PRACTICE IN EXPERIMENTAL BACTERIOLOGY

Abstract

suggest for it will certainly be useful in hospital and public health laboratories. It is difficult to imagine any bacteriologist who would not be glad of reliable help on such topics as counts of viable bacteria, the precise control of defined media, reliable pH estimations, measurement of oxidation-reduction potential, practical methods of sterilization, plate microscopy, use of membrane filters, infectivity titrations, comparison of dose response curves, and preservation of cultures. These, and many other relevant matters, are very clearly set out and discussed in a genuinely helpful manner. Numerous tables, not elsewhere readily available in one book, will greatly lessen the amount of computation involved in standard procedures. There is no doubt that Dr. and Mrs.
