Reviews advances in the field of bacterial adhesion; covers general principles, methodology, and characteristics of target cells and tissues; discusses characteristics of bacterial surfaces and the regulation of surface protein expression and biogenesis; and this book's tables list pathogenic bacterial species for their ability to adhere.
Understanding of the critical events in the development of bacterial infections. * Covers historical perspectives, general principles, methodologies, and specific host cell and bacterial components associated with the process, including post-adhesion consequences, regulation of adhesin expression, and anti-adhesion therapy. * Serves as an essential reference for students and investigators interested in host-pathogen interactions.
