An understanding of the relationship between a pathogen and its host is essential for the development of effective disease control measures. This volume focuses on interactions at the molecular level, specifically between the proteins of the infectious agent and the host that has been invaded. Both viral and bacterial systems are considered, with specific examples illustrating the rapid advances being made in defining the molecular mechanisms underlying infection.
Read more- Unique in focussing on the protein-protein interactions taking place between host and pathogen
- Considers a broad range of interactions, taking examples from both bacteria and viruses
- Another title in the well-respected and authoritative SGM Symposium Series
Reviews & endorsements
'What a feast! This is a book which provides not only a series of comprehensive position papers on the state-of-the-art in one of the most rapidly developing - and trendy - areas in microbiology today, but a set of meaty reviews which should also be in the hands of those of us who dabble in other areas like molecular epidemiology and clinical microbiology. I strongly recommend my colleagues in these areas to read them if for nothing but the good of their souls!' Hugh Pennington, Society for General Microbiology Quarterly
