Abstract

Abstract: The importance of laboratory mice in experimental microbiology and biomedical research is indisputable, and their care and handling is a contributing factor to the quality of the science resulting from their use. This unit provides guidelines for practical housing, handling, and the methodology for sample collection to ensure animal health and minimize variable experimental parameters. Curr. Protoc.
