Bacterial Population Genetics in Infectious Disease addresses a set of issues that are extremely provocative in the current climate in which progress is rapidly changing the microbiological landscape. From this perspective, the volume appears at a key moment because of 2 major challenges that have arisen since the beginning of the genomic era: 1) defining what constitutes a species and how to determine this, and 2) determining the structure of the population of the most common bacterial pathogens.
