A unique synthesis of the major concepts and methods in bacterial population genetics in infectious disease.

Emphasis is given to explaining population-level processes that shape genetic variation in bacterial populations and statistical methods of analysis of bacterial genetic data.

• A ""how to"" of bacterial population genetics, which covers an extremely large range of organisms
• Expanding area of science due to high-throughput genome sequencing of bacterial pathogens
• Covers both fundamental approaches to analyzing bacterial population structures with conceptual background in bacterial population biology
• Detailed treatment of statistical methods
