The chapters, which cover a wide range of topics, are organized into six parts: Part one discusses the cultivation of Streptococcus pneumoniae in vitro; Part Two talks about the microscopy techniques used to study the biology of Streptococcus pneumoniae and pneumococcal interactions with the host; Parts Three and Four describe the genetics, proteome, and proteomics of Streptococcus pneumoniae; Part Five explains in vitro and in vivo models of Streptococcus pneumoniae-host interactions; and Part Six looks at the factors of public health, epidemiology, and biostatistics. Written in the highly successful \u003ci\u003eMethods in Molecular Biology\u003c\/i\u003e 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 avoid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The audience includes students, researchers, and microbiologists, as well as others in the fields of public health, epidemiology, and biostatistics related to Streptococcus pneumoniae. ... This is an excellent book on Streptococcus pneumoniae, with additional coverage of the related public health, epidemiology, and biostatistics aspects. I am sure that the information in this book will be of much help and interest to the intended audience.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Book Reviews, December 7, 2019)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor Biography…Preface…Table of Contents…Contributing Authors…\u003cbr\u003ePart I Cultivation of Streptococcus pneumoniae In Vitro\u003cbr\u003e1.\tOptimal Conditions for Streptococcus pneumoniae Culture: In Solid and Liquid MediaEsther Texeira and Norma Suárez\u003cbr\u003ePart II Microscopy Techniques to Study the Biology of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Pneumococcal Interactions with the Host\u003cbr\u003e2.\tElectron Microscopy to Study the Fine Structure of the Pneumococcal CellSven Hammerschmidt and Manfred Rohde\u003cbr\u003e3.\tImmunofluorescent Staining and High-Resolution Microscopy to Study the Pneumococcal CellFederico Iovino and Birgitta Henriques-Normark\u003cbr\u003e4.\tConstruction of Fluorescent Pneumococci for In Vivo Imaging and Labeling of the ChromosomeMorten Kjos\u003cbr\u003e5.\tHigh-Resolution and Super-Resolution Immunofluorescent Microscopy Ex Vivo to Study Pneumococcal Interactions with the HostFederico Iovino and Birgitta Henriques-Normark\u003cbr\u003ePart III The Genetics of Streptococcus pneumoniae\u003cbr\u003e6.\tNatural Genetic Transformation: A Direct Route to Easy Insertion of Chimeric Genes into the Pneumococcal ChromosomeIsabelle Mortier-Barriere, Nathalie Campo, Mathieu Berge, Marc Prudhomme, and Patrice Polard\u003cbr\u003e7.\tGene Expression Analysis in the PneumococcusRory A.
