Colonization Of Mucosal Surfaces

"Colonization of Mucosal Surfaces" is a state-of-the-art presentation of the opposing evolutionary forces that ultimately determine the health of host organisms and survival of pathogenic microorganisms. Medical books Colonization Of Mucosal Surfaces. As mammalian defenses evolve to protect against infection, pathogens are simultaneously evolving to circumvent new barriers and gain access to valuable host nutrients and energy. Written by experts in the field, this new volume is an in-depth examination of the complex ecosystems of the mammalian mucosa and the successful adaptations of microorganisms that enable them to effectively colonize these surfaces. First addressing general consideration, "Colonization of Mucosal Surfaces" then comprehensively covers colonization of the respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, and the genitourinary tract and considers the various organisms present at these surfaces. Aspects of bacterial colonization revealed by the most recent research are also contemplated, including penetration of the mucous layer, innate immune effectors and their subversion, signaling of the host cells by adherence factors, modulation of adherence, phase variation of colonization factors, and regulation of colonization effectors Medical books 2005-01-31, Colonization Of Mucosal Surfaces, , Excellent Book. payment | shipping rates | returns Colonization Of Mucosal Surfaces Product Category :Books ISBN :1555813232 Title :Colonization Of Mucosal Surfaces Binding :Hardcover Publisher :ASM Press Publication Date :2005-01-31 Pages :456 Signed :False First Edition :False Dust Jacket :False List Price (MSRP) :119.95 Height :1.2000 inches Width :8.4000 inches Length :11.1000 inches Weight :2.9000 pounds Keywords :General, Essays Commentary, Immunology, Microbiology, Communicable Diseases Condition :Like

Written by experts in the field, this new volume is an in-depth examination of the complex ecosystems of the mammalian mucosa and the successful adaptations of microorganisms that enable them to effectively colonize these surfaces. First addressing general consideration, "Colonization of Mucosal Surfaces" then comprehensively covers colonization of the respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, and the genitourinary tract and considers the various organisms present at these surfaces. Aspects of bacterial colonization revealed by the most recent research are also contemplated, including penetration of the mucous layer, innate immune effectors and their subversion, signaling of the host cells by adherence factors, modulation of adherence, phase variation of colonization factors, and regulation of colonization effectors. The key features are that it: presents a multi-disciplinary approach to colonization and considers microbiology, protein chemistry, cell biology, genetics, evolution, and biology of the host; addresses colonization of major mucosal systems; suggests principles that serve as hypotheses for investigators working on less-characterized organisms or models; contributes highly scientific research from recognized leaders in the field; and emphasizes colonization events beyond adherence.
