The term 'cellular microbiology' was coined in 1996 to identify an emerging discipline integrating the fields of cell biology and microbiology. This book considers genomic information and advances in technology in an examination of this area of research. It covers bacterial human pathogen genomes, and structure of the host cell membrane.
A comprehensive examination of this burgeoning area of important research. * Covers bacterial human pathogen genomes, structure and dynamics of the host cell membrane, study of prokaryotic biology using genome-wide approaches, cell biology of virus infection, and use of simple nonvertebrate hosts to model mammalian pathogenesis. * Acquaints scientists and graduate-level students with a valuable source of reference in an emerging field. * Integrates the two important fields of cell biology and microbiology.
