Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This volume explores the latest techniques used to study
Mycobacterium ulcerans
, and more specifically
M. ulcerans
disease (Buruli ulcer). The chapters in this book are organized into three parts and cover methods for the detection of
M. ulcerans
and the analysis of host-pathogen interaction; the quantification and characterization of mycolactone, the macrolide toxin of
M. ulcerans
; and drug development against
M. ulcerans
. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. 

Authoritative and cutting-edge,
Mycobacterium ulcerans: Methods and Protocols
is a valuable resource that helps scientists advance their research on Buruli ulcer, which is still an under-researched field in infection biology.
