Virulence Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogens

A ground-breaking overview of how bacterial pathogens cause disease.

• Explains the wide variety of mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens and summarizes proven strategies for overcoming them.
• Reviews the pathogenesis of bacterial diseases and mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions for non-specialists and advanced students in the fields of bacteriology and immunology.
• Provides an essential source of the latest information on the mechanisms of bacterial pathogens and also serves as a textbook for graduate courses on bacterial pathogenesis.
• Serves as a resource for specialists in bacterial pathogenicity, such as molecular biologists, physician scientists, dental scientists, veterinarians, molecular biologists, industry researchers, and technicians.
