Virulence Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogens
Product Description
The fourth edition of this volume presents entirely new material on the issue of virulence mechanisms in a ground-breaking overview of the latest knowledge. Internationally recognized authorities explain the wide variety of mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens to cause disease, and then summarize proven strategies for overcoming bacterial virulence mechansims….

Bacterial Adhesion to Host Tissues: Mechanisms and Consequences
Product Description
Adhesion is the crucial first stage in any infectious disease. It is therefore important to fully understand the mechanisms underlying bacterial adhesion so that we may be able to develop methods of maintaining our normal (protective) microflora, and of preventing pathogenic bacteria from initiating an infectious process. This book describes the bacterial structures responsible for adhesion and the molecular mechanisms underlying the adhesion process. A unique featu… More >>Bacterial Adhesion to Host Tissues: Mechanisms and Consequences
Foodborne Microbial Pathogens: Mechanisms and Pathogenesis
Product Description
Undoubtedly in the past 10-20 years, impact of foodborne pathogens has been overwhelming because of high rate of fatalities, illnesses, and the fear of being exposed to incurable infective agents or toxins. Rapid growth in the centralized food production industries, aggressive agricultural practices and changes in food consumption habits are contributing factors for the emergence of increased foodborne infections by new or old pathogens resulting in several outbreak… More >>Foodborne Microbial Pathogens: Mechanisms and Pathogenesis
