Axel Kornerup Hansen (DVM, Dr. Vet. Sci., DipECLAM) is professor in laboratory animal science and welfare at University of Copenhagen. He is heading a research group mainly focusing on how the microbiota has an impact on laboratory animal models for inflammatory diseases and how this works in conjunction with the diet. He has published 157 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, and 36 other papers in books, proceedings or popular journals.Dennis Sandris Nielsen (MSc, PhD) is associate professor at University of Copenhagen, with a special interest in gut microbiota, indigenous African fermented foods and fermented products contributing to the more joyful side of life (cocoa, wine, coffee). He is heading a research group mainly focusing on microbe-host and microbe-microbe-interactions in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract. He has published 75 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals, and 15+ other papers in books, proceedings or popular journals.

"This text…provides updated information on new technologies commonly used in bacteriology, including standard molecular biologic techniques. Additionally, unlike the original edition, the authors provide commentary on how bacteria affect and can interfere with research animal models. The perspective of bacteriologists about the progress and new horizons for the field of bacteriology is well-written and will likely prove interesting to laboratory animal professionals. Chapters 2-6…are also valuable reference material to laboratory animal professionals designing health programs, diagnosing clinical or subclinical disease, or investigating changes in research animal models."—Melissa C. Dyson, DVM, MS, DACLAM, University of Michigan, in Laboratory Animal Practitioner"Colony managers, veterinary pathologists, and veterinarians will find this comprehensive guide to the bacterial phyla found in laboratory animals useful. Beginning with an introduction to bacteriology and sampling techniques, the bulk of the book focuses on describing the most common bacteria in animals with a specific focus on the bacteria that will interfere with research protocols. Included are details on differentiating between related bacteria, rodent bacteriology reagents and safety issues. The second edition has a new focus on sequencing technique and is reorganized to reflect the most up to date identification methods."—Ringgold, Inc. Book News, February 2015Praise for the First Edition"…this book provides precise methodology for the isolation and identification of bacteria that interfere with research protocols. It is logically organized, instructive, and progresses through animal sampling, bacterial culture, isolation, differentiation, and identification… . The book is a valuable guide to the bacteriological monitoring of rodent and rabbit research animal colonies… . It should be useful to laboratory animal health monitoring laborat
