Introduction to Pathogenic Bacteria. Tracey Elizabeth Love and Barbara Jones. Abstract. This chapter is a brief introduction to pathogenic microorganisms and also discusses virulence factors. An understanding of virulence factors is important, as they represent potential targets for the detection of microbial pathogens.
Written by experts from all over the world, this book examines pathogenic bacteria and their link to multidrug resistance. Over thirteen chapters, it presents examples of pathogenesis, virulence factors, and treatment strategies.
When inflammation occurs, phagocytic cells, along with lymphocytes, play an important role in innate immunity to bacterial infections. During the interaction of bacterial cells with macrophages, T cells, and B cells, specific antibody responses and/or cell-mediated immunity develop to protect against reinfection.
This detailed volume presents a diverse set of methodological approaches designed to improve our understanding of bacterial infections from a wide range of bacterial species. Beginning with biofilms and subcellular compartments, the book explores transcriptional analysis, methods for studying plasmid dynamics, and tools for phylogenetic ...
