The second edition of the book consists of a comprehensive and systematic Veterinary Bacteriology. The general Bacteriology section includes an introduction to and history of Microbiology, bacterial classification and nomenclature, microscopy and micrometry, bacterial staining techniques, bacterial structure and morphology, growth and nutritional requirements, infection types and sources, pathogenicity and virulence determinants, epizootic and enzootic diseases, bacterial toxins, bacterial genetics involving mutation, transformation, transduction, and conjugation, as well as plasmids and antibiotic resistance.

The systematic Bacteriology section presents updated information on each bacterial genuss history, morphology, classification, resistance, natural habitat, genome, isolation and colony characteristics, biochemical and antigenic properties, pathogenesis, diseases caused, and diagnosis, as they relate to animal and human health. This revised edition will be beneficial for individuals working as Government Veterinarians, independent animal health practitioners, or in laboratories for the diagnosis of animal diseases.

The book provides diagnostic techniques for each bacterial genus, ranging from staining methods to molecular tools, along with useful color photographs.
