Structural Biology of Bacterial Pathogenesis

Explores developments in the understanding of the molecular basis of bacterial infectious diseases.  Offers a convenient review of current research that will engage instructors, students, and professionals in the fields of bacterial pathogenesis and infectious diseases.  Provides a foundation for understanding the molecular interactions required for infection to occur.  Addresses diverse topics, including host receptors of bacterial origin, sortase pathways in gram-positive bacteria, and bacterial secretion machinery.  Incorporates illustrations that emphasize general concepts related to each disease profiled, as well as concepts concerning the infectious agent causing it.
