Discover the Latest Advances in Gram-Positive Bacterial Pathogenesis
This comprehensive textbook provides an in-depth exploration of Gram-positive bacteria, characterized by a thick peptidoglycan layer and the absence of an outer membrane. These unique bacteria have developed innovative strategies for pathogenesis, including a distinctive family of surface proteins, toxins, enzymes, and prophages.
In this new edition, the editors have enhanced this meticulously researched compendium of Gram-positive bacterial pathogens by incorporating:
- New data from cutting-edge genomic sequencing techniques.
- The latest insights into Gram-positive bacterial structure and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance.
- Current theories on the mechanisms of Gram-positive pathogenicity.
This edition places a special emphasis on key pathogens such as streptococci, staphylococci, listeria, and spore-forming bacteria. Each chapter, authored by leading researchers in the field, systematically dissects these organisms from biological, genetic, and immunological perspectives, aiming to elucidate the strategies these bacteria employ to cause human diseases.
“This textbook comprises a superb collection of scientific knowledge, making it a must-read for any graduate student, medical doctor, or investigator studying these Gram-positive bacteria and inspiring future imaginations of biological…”
