    Introductory textbook describing the ways in which bacteria cause disease at the molecular and cellular level.

  • Book Description

    This introductory cellular microbiology textbook describes how bacteria cause human diseases. It offers a new perspective on the way in which bacteria damage their human host. It differs from other books on the subject by describing disease mechanisms in terms of the way in which bacteria subvert normal host cell functions and defense systems to ensure their own survival. Molecular techniques used to investigate these mechanisms are also discussed. Bacterial Disease Mechanisms will provide a core textbook for students taking courses on cellular and molecular microbiology, pathogenicity and medical microbiology.

  • Product Description

    This introductory textbook explores bacterial disease mechanisms and bacteria-host interactions. The central premise is that bacteria have evolved by means of manipulating normal host cell functions and overcoming host defense systems to ensure their survival. As well as offering a new perspective on the classical bacterial virulence mechanisms, this book outlines the new molecular techniques developed to unravel the complexity of bacteria-host interactions. Current research may lead not only to a better understanding of disease mechanisms, but also to new means of preventing and/or treating bacterial infections.
