Activities Of Bacterial Pathogens In Vivo, The: Based On Contributions To A Royal Society Discussion Meeting

Introduction: questions about the behaviour of bacterial pathogens in vivo, H. Smith; DNA topology and adaptation of Salmonella Typhimurium to an intracellular environment, D.G. Marshall et al. New methods for studying bacterial behaviour in vivo: the pathogenesis of Shigella Flexneri infection - lessons from in vitro and in vivo studies, D.J. Philpott et al; detection and analysis of gene expression during infection by in vivo expression technology, D.S. Merrell and A. Camilli; measurement of bacterial gene expression in vivo, I. Hautefort and J.C.D. Hinton; identification and analysis of bacterial virulence genes in vivo, K.E. Unsworth and D.W. Holden; Salmonella interactions with host cells - in vitro to in vivo, B.B.

Heithoff et al; challenge of investigating biologically relevant functions of virulence factors in bacterial pathogens, R. Moxon and C. Tang; virulence gene regulation inside and outside, V.J. DiRita et al. Evidence for operation in vivo of aspects of pathogenicity revealed by recent work in vivo: potential use of new methods - quorum sensing and the population-dependent control of virulence, P. Williams et al; type III secretion - a bacterial device for close combat with cells of their eukaryotic host, G.R. Cornelis; evolution of microbial pathogens, J. Morschhauser et al; the immune responses to bacterial antigens encountered in vivo at mucosal surfaces, G. Dougan et al.
