Présentation de l'éditeur

As in previous editions, we have kept before us the adaptation of this book to the needs of the beginner. There have been incorporated all advances that we regard as fundamental to an understanding of the accepted principles and practices of modern bacteriology. Opinion is now well stabilized upon the matter of variations in bacterial species and the subject has been treated in appropriate places in both a general and particular manner. Since the last edition of this book there have been developed methods for the estimation of the exact acid or alkaline strengths of solutions. These methods are based upon the theory of dissociation of electrolytes under different conditions of solution. They are now so simplified as to make them adaptable to the routine estimation and correction of reactions of culture media. In this connection an effort has been made to explain the phenomenon of dissociation in such manner as to make it comprehensible to those not versed in the physics of solutions, and to clarify the steps, and reasons therefor, taken in efforts to determine the reactions of solutions, especially of culture media, by the estimation of their hydrogen-ion content. The significance of pH values as symbols of reaction and the use of indicators for different pH values is explained.
