Virulence Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogens

Meer over het boek

This is the second edition of a landmark book, originally published in 1988. The new edition has been extensively revised and updated to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of how bacterial pathogens go about establishing infections, producing disease, and persisting in the host. Strategies for overcoming bacterial virulence mechanisms are also covered. This book will appeal strongly to molecular biologists wanting an understanding of how molecular mechanisms relate to disease, as well as infectious disease specialists wanting an insight into the molecular and cellular basis of pathogenesis.
