Synopsis

An up-to-date examination of the evolution of microbial pathogenesis. - Provides comprehensive coverage with a dual focus on pathogenesis and methods used to study evolution. - Emphasizes broad themes of evolution and examines the process of studying evolution. - Provides examples of how problems that are common to various pathogens have been solved by evolution. - Serves as a valuable reference for laboratory directors, postdoctoral fellows, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

examines evolution of microbial pathogenesis, capitalizing on explosion of knowledge of molecular mechanisms and microbial genome sequencing; covers general concepts of microbial evolution including gene acquisition, gene loss, and concept of microbial species; presents information on broad areas of evolution of pathogenesis, including evolution of pathogenic microbes in soil, evolution of microbe–plant interactions, human specific pathogens, zoonotic infections, biofilm formation in the environment and pathogenesis, and co–evolution of pathogens and the immune system; considers evolution of pathogenic systems found in a variety of microbes or specific subsets of pathogens.
