Concepts in Bacterial Virulence: Volume 12

Russell and Herwald, both affiliated with the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Lund University in Sweden, gather together material on the most important bacterial virulence mechanisms. Organized in sections on toxins, adhesins, enzymes, and signaling and gene regulation, chapters cover topics such as bacterial exotoxins, microbial pathogenesis and biofilm development, bacterial peptidases, and bacterial iron transport related to virulence. The book will attract the interest of clinical and pre-clinical researchers and will also be of value to students in medicine, biology, chemistry, and infectious diseases.
