Principles of Bacterial Pathogenesis

Informationen zum Autor Dr. Eduardo A. Groisman is a Professor of Molecular Microbiology at the Washington University School of Medicine and an Associate Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is an accomplished microbiologist with an interest in bacterial pathogenesis investigating the regulation and function of virulence determinants and the evolution of bacterial pathogens. Klappentext Principles of Bacterial Pathogenesis presents a molecular perspective on a select group of bacterial pathogens by having the leaders of the field present their perspective in a clear and authoritative manner. Each chapter contains a comprehensive review devoted to a single pathogen. Several chapters include work from authors outside the pathogenesis field, providing general perspectives on the evolution, regulation, and secretion of virulence and determinants. Zusammenfassung Presents a molecular perspective on a group of bacterial pathogens.

Klappentext

Principles of Bacterial Pathogenesis presents a molecular perspective on a select group of bacterial pathogens by having the leaders of the field present their perspective in a clear and authoritative manner. Each chapter contains a comprehensive review devoted to a single pathogen. Several chapters include work from authors outside the pathogenesis field, providing general perspectives on the evolution, regulation, and secretion of virulence and determinants.

Zusammenfassung
Presents a molecular perspective on a group of bacterial pathogens. It explains the principles of bacterial pathogenesis and covers diverse aspects integrating regulation, cellular microbiology and evolution of microbial disease of humans. It provides general perspectives on the evolution, regulation, and secretion of virulence and determinants.
