Bacterial Adhesion to Host Tissues
Mechanisms and Consequences
Häftad, 2010
732 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book is about the adhesion of bacteria to their human hosts. Although adhesion is essential for maintaining members of the normal microflora in/on their host, it is also the crucial first stage in any infectious disease. It is important, therefore, to fully understand the mechanisms underlying …
Susceptibility to Infectious Diseases
The Importance of Host Genetics
Häftad, 2010
720 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In the last fifteen years, substantial progress has been made in identifying why some people are particularly susceptible to specific infectious diseases. Extensive evidence has accumulated that host genes are important determinants of the outcome of infection for many common pathogens. This book …
The Dynamic Bacterial Genome
Häftad, 2010
993 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms and biological consequences of genome rearrangements in bacteria. Genome rearrangements are a result of the actions of discrete genetic elements such as conjugative transposons, plasmids, phage, and non-conjugative transposons. Bacteria also …
Bacterial Protein Toxins
Role in the Interference with Cell Growth Regulation
Häftad, 2011
667 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Bacterial toxins that act inside cells interact very specifically with key components of the cell and some even manipulate the cell in subtle ways for their own purposes. These potent toxins, described in this 2005 book, will be of interest to both microbiologists and cell biologists. Some of these …
Dormancy and Low Growth States in Microbial Disease
Häftad, 2011
804 kr
Lägg i varukorg
All cellular life-forms can exist in replicating and non-replicating states. Organisms replicate only when the conditions are beneficial, and when not replicating they concentrate on survival of these environmental stresses. Many bacteria, harmful to humans, survive the period of infection in a low …
Bacterial Evasion of Host Immune Responses
Av Brian Henderson, Petra C. F. Oyston
Inbunden, 2003
2180 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Our survival as multicellular organisms requires the constant surveillance of our internal and external (mucosal) environments by the multifarious elements of the innate and acquired systems of immunity. The objective of this surveillance, expensive as it is to the organisms, is to recognise and …

Bacterial Invasion of Host Cells
Inbunden, 2004
1693 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This book concerns the intimate association between bacteria and host cells. Many bacterial pathogens are able to invade and survive within cells at mucosal membranes. Remarkably, the bacteria themselves orchestrate this process through the exploitation of host cellular signal transduction …
Mammalian Host Defense Peptides
Av Deirdre A. Devine, Robert E. W. Hancock
Inbunden, 2004
2492 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Cationic antimicrobial peptides are multifunctional peptides of the innate immune system, which not only act directly against microorganisms, but also signal between early and late immune responses and modulate inflammatory reposnes. The significance of these host defence peptides in combating …
The Influence of Cooperative Bacteria on Animal Host Biology
Av Margaret J. McFall Ngai, Brian Henderson m. fl.
Inbunden, 2005
2149 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Ninety percent of the cells in the human body are bacteria, and humans may be host to many thousands of different species of bacteria. These striking statistics are part of a new paradigm in microbiology in which bacteria are no longer viewed as disease-causing killers but more as lifelong partners …

Clinical, Immunological and Molecular Aspects
Av Duncan Maskell, Pietro Mastroeni
Inbunden, 2006
2214 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Salmonella enterica encompasses a diverse range of bacteria that cause a spectrum of diseases in many hosts. Advancements in prevention and treatment of S. enterica infections have at times been hampered by compartmentalization of research efforts and lack of multidisciplinary approaches. This book …
Phagocytosis of Bacteria and Bacterial Pathogenicity
Av Joel D. Ernst, Olle Stendahl
Inbunden, 2006
1832 kr
Lägg i varukorg

Bacterial Cell-to-Cell Communication
Role in Virulence and Pathogenesis
Av Donald R. Demuth, Richard Lamont
Inbunden, 2006
1710 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Many bacterial diseases are caused by organisms growing together as communities or biofilms. These microorganisms have the capacity to coordinately regulate specific sets of genes by sensing and communicating amongst themselves utilizing a variety of signals. This book examines the mechanisms of …
Bacterial-Epithelial Cell Cross-Talk
Molecular Mechanisms in Pathogenesis
Inbunden, 2006
2130 kr
Lägg i varukorg
An emerging theme in molecular and cellular microbiology has been the ability of many pathogens to usurp the host cell and eventually colonize the host. This interaction between bacteria and host is not unidirectional - both pathogens and host cells engage in a signalling cross-talk. Research …
Dendritic Cell Interactions with Bacteria
Inbunden, 2007
1996 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Emerging evidence suggests that dendritic cells play a major role in the orchestration of the immune response to bacteria. This volume introduces the reader to the complex world of dendritic cells and describes how the intimate interplay between dendritic cells, bacteria and the environment …
Horizontal Gene Transfer in the Evolution of Pathogenesis
Av Michael Hensel, Herbert Schmidt
Inbunden, 2008
