"Veterinary medical education has led the medical professions in
the intricate teaching of microbial pathogenesis of infectious
diseases. The fourth edition of Pathogenesis of Bacterial
Infections in Animals continues this legacy with introductory
chapters regarding themes in bacterial pathogenic mechanisms,
subversion of the immune response by bacterial pathogens, and the
evolution of bacterial virulence. This book is an excellent text
for graduate students in veterinary microbiology, pathology,
pathobiology, and preventive medicine and veterinarians studying
for related AVMA-recognized board certifications. The comprehensive
and extremely current references with each chapter will be useful
to those investigating the pathology and infectious diseases of
animals." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical
Association, December 2010)
