New advances in proteomics, driven largely by developments in mass
spectrometry, continue to reveal the complexity and diversity of
pathogenic mechanisms among microbes that underpin infectious
diseases. Therefore a new era in medical microbiology is demanding
a rapid transition from current procedures to high throughput
analytical systems for the diagnosis of microbial pathogens.
This book covers the broad microbiological applications of
proteomics and mass spectrometry. It is divided into six sections
that follow the general progression in which most microbiology
laboratories are approaching the subject -Transition, Tools,
Preparation, Profiling by Patterns, Target Proteins, and Data
Analysis.
