What Is Microbial Pathogenicity

Bacterial Pathogenesis

Established almost 30 years ago, Methods in Microbiology is the most prestigious series devoted to techniques and methodology in the field. Now totally revamped, revitalized, with a new format and expanded scope, Methods in Microbiology will continue to provide you with tried and tested, cutting-edge protocols to directly benefit your research. Key Features * Focuses on the methods most useful for the microbiologist interested in the way in which bacteria cause disease * Includes section devoted to 'Approaches to characterising pathogenic mechanisms' by Stanley Falkow * Covers safety aspects, detection, identification and speciation * Includes techniques for the study of host interactions and reactions in animals and plants * Describes biochemical and molecular genetic approaches * Essential methods for gene expression and analysis * Covers strategies and problems for disease control

Principles of Bacterial Pathogenesis

Principles of Bacterial Pathogenesis presents a molecular perspective on a select group of bacterial pathogens by having the leaders of the field present their perspective in a clear and authoritative manner. Each chapter contains a comprehensive review devoted to a single pathogen. Several chapters include work from authors outside the pathogenesis field, providing general perspectives on the evolution, regulation, and secretion of virulence and determinants. - Explains the basic principles of bacterial pathogenesis - Covers diverse aspects integrating regulation, cellular microbiology and evolution of microbial disease of humans - Discusses current strategies for the identification of virulence determinants and the methods used by microbes to deliver virulence factors - Presents authoritative treatises of the major disease microorganisms
