The Activities of Bacterial Pathogens in Vivo
Product Description
Pathogenic bacteria have unique biological properties, which enable them to invade a host and cause sickness. The molecular bases of these biological properties are the determinants of pathogenicity, and the research objectives are to recognize them, identify them chemically and relate their structure to function. Most of our present knowledge comes from studies with cultures in vitro. However, there is a rising interest in bacterial behaviour in the infected host a… More >>The Activities of Bacterial Pathogens in Vivo
Oceans and Health:: Pathogens in the Marine Environment
Product Description
The release of non-disinfected wastewaters into the marine environment is a common worldwide practice, in under-developed as well as in highly developed countries. Consequently, the seas are constantly infused with wastewater bacteria, among them highly pathogenic ones. In view of the public health significance of this phenomenon, it is surprising how little is actually known concerning the fate of such bacteria once they enter the sea. While numerous studies have … More >>Oceans and Health:: Pathogens in the Marine Environment
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….

Foodborne Pathogens:
Product Description
The diseases and consequences of foodborne pathogenic micro-organisms are of major global importance and concern, with a conservatively estimated 80 million cases of “food poisoning” occurring annually in the western world. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the organisms responsible for foodborne disease, as well as giving clear, practical guidance to all those involved in its prevention, managment and control. Combining an authoritative text with over 300… More >>Foodborne Pathogens:
Foodborne Pathogens: Hazards, Risk Analysis and Control, 2nd Edition
Product Description
Covers modeling pathogen behavior and carrying out a risk assessment as the essential foundation for effective food safety management. Focuses on good management practice in key stages in the supply chain, starting with farm production. Also covers safe practices for consumers and food handlers in the retail and catering sectors. … More >>Foodborne Pathogens: Hazards, Risk Analysis and Control, 2nd Edition
Bacterial Fish Pathogens: Disease of Farmed and Wild Fish
Product Description
The economic importance of bacterial fish diseases and the increased understanding of the taxonomy and pathology of fish that has occurred during the last ten years, has resulted in this completely revised and updated edition of Biological Fish Pathogens, first published in 1987. The book provides comprehensive coverage of bacterial fish pathogens and, crucially, diagnostic methods of identification and techniques for isolating those pathogens. The authors also disc… More >>Bacterial Fish Pathogens: Disease of Farmed and Wild Fish

Evolution of Microbial Pathogens
Product Description
examines evolution of microbial pathogenesis, capitalizing on explosion of knowledge of molecular mechanisms and microbial genome sequencing; covers general concepts of microbial evolution including gene acquisition, gene loss, and concept of microbial species; presents information on broad areas of evolution of pathogenesis, including evolution of pathogenic microbes in soil, evolution of microbe-plant interactions, human specific pathogens, zoonotic infections, bi… More >>Evolution of Microbial Pathogens
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
Cell Wall Deficient FormsStealth Pathogens
Product Description
Numerous infectious diseases are described as idiopathic, meaning that “the cause is a complete mystery.” For many idiopathic diseases, the causes become clear when certain techniques are applied to the patient’s blood or other tissues. Cell Wall Deficient Forms: Stealth Pathogens, Third Edition describes these techniques. In the case of tuberculosis, a disease that has recently regained importance because the strains have acquired antibiotic resistance, the book de… More >>Cell Wall Deficient FormsStealth Pathogens
