商品簡介
Brogden (dentistry, University of Iowa) offers a review of current work in the pathogenesis of bacterial diseases and mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions, for nonspecialists and students in bacteriology and immunology. Major aspects covered are virulence genes, microbial interactions in health and disease, bacterial attachment and colonization, bacterial effects on host cells, innate and adaptive resistance to pathogens, and the future of the field. The book will serve as a source of information on the virulence mechanisms of bacterial pathogens and as a text for graduate courses on bacterial pathogenesis. The audience for the book includes specialists in bacterial pathogenicity, as well as physician scientists, dental scientists, veterinarians, molecular biologists, and researchers. Material in this fourth edition originated at the 2006 fourth International Symposium on Virulence Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogens, held at Iowa State University.
