Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b27d92/bacterial_virulenc) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new report "Bacterial Virulence: Basic Principles, Models and Global Approaches" to their offering.
“Bacterial Virulence: Basic Principles, Models and Global Approaches”
Starting with basic principles, this reference and handbook discusses examples of the most advanced models of bacterial infection with regard to their value as paradigms to understand the molecular cross-talks between microbes and their host and tissue targets. It adopts a very forward-looking, advanced approach, placing special emphasis on the main global challenges facing scientists today, such as pathogenicity vs. commensalisms, infections in immunocompromised hosts and species specificity issues.
Key Topics Covered:
BASIC PRINCIPLES
How bacterial pathogens got constructed (Dobrindt and Hacker)
Antimicrobial mechanisms of neutrophils (Zychlinsky, Chaput)
Helicobacter pylori: the way from inflammation to cancer (Chiba, Marusawa, Seno and Watanabe)
MODELS
Host-pathogen relationship in skin and soft tissue infections caused by Group A streptococcus and Staphylococcus aureus (Mishalian, Ravins, Baruch, Persky, Belotserkovsky and Hanski)
Mechanisms of meningeal invasion by septicemic extra cellular pathogens: the examples of Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus agalactiae and Escherichia coli (Join-Lambert, Carbonnelle, Chretien, Bourdoulous, Bonacorsi, Poyart and Nassif)
