Molecular Infection Biology: Interactions Between Microorganisms and Cells |
| Editor: Jörg Hacker (Institute for Molecular Biology of Infectious Diseases, Univ. of Würzburg); Editor: Jürgen Heesemann (Max von Pettenkofer Institute for Hygiene and Medical Microbiology, Univ. of Munich) |
| This comprehensive volume focuses on molecular methods and principles of prokaryotic and eukaryotic pathogens. The editors present the molecular and cellular aspects by focusing on the interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and their hosts. Beginning with an overview of the most important and dangerous causative agents of infectious diseases, this publication leads into discussions of how microbial “weapons,” pathogenicity factors, protein secretion machines, and surface variation systems work, while presenting the molecular and genetic methods that are being used by scientists for their discovery and analysis. Furthermore, infectious diseases are discussed in light of the newly formed research areas of evolutionary and cellular microbiology and genomics. Future aspects on diagnostic techniques, therapy, and vaccine development are also presented.
