Diagnosis, Therapy, and Evidence
Employing historical and contemporary data and case studies, the authors also examine tonsillectomy, cancer, heart disease, anxiety, and depression, and identify differences between rhetoric and reality and the weaknesses in diagnosis and treatment.
Population Genetics of Bacteria
Revisit the work of a pioneering innovator… • Explores the field of bacterial population genetics by highlighting the work of Thomas S. Whittam, best known for his work with enterohemorrhagic E. coli. • Features a compilation of research projects and ideas stemming from Dr. Whittam’s work that presents a broad perspective on the historical development of bacterial population genetics.
Pathogenomics
The first book on this young, highly dynamic, and expanding field. This comprehensive, interdisciplinary text focuses on those pathogenic bacteria that are of high scientific and public health interest, yet which also display great potential for the development of new diagnostic, prophylactic and therapeutic procedures. The authors cover all aspects of pathogenomics, including methods, genomics and applications. In addition, the ongoing development of genome, transcriptome, proteome and bioinformatic analyses of pathogenic microorganisms and their host interactions makes for a comprehensive introduction to the field of modern genomic analysis. This result is invaluable to researchers and students wishing to gain a general overview of microbial functional genome analysis and pathogenesis, while also representing a good starting point for those new to the area.
Emerging Concepts in Bacterial Biofilms
The ability to form biofilms is a universal attribute of bacteria. Bacteria are able to grow on almost every surface, forming these architecturally complex communities. In biofilms, the cells grow in multicellular aggregates, encased in an extracellular matrix produced by the bacteria themselves. They impact humans in many ways, and can form in natural, medical and industrial settings. For example, the formation of biofilms on medical devices such as catheters or implants often results in difficult-to-treat chronic infections. This book focuses on emerging concepts in bacterial biofilm research, such as the different mechanisms of biofilm formation in Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria, and the burden of biofilm associated infections. It also highlights the various anti-biofilm strategies that can be translated to curb biofilm-associated infections and the escalation of antimicrobial resistance determinants.
Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Four-Volume Set
The First Edition of the Encyclopedia of Microbiology was hailed by leading scientists and researchers around the world as "excellent," "outstanding," and "impressive." This Second Edition will serve as an up-to-date version of this reference which has been useful to academic, industrial, and personal libraries for years. The Encyclopedia of Microbiology, Second Edition both challenges and stimulates the reader, and illustrates the importance of microbiology, a field that cannot be over emphasized in this booming biotechnology age. Key Features * Completely redesigned and revised approach with 65% new material * Contains approximately 300 articles, 1000 illustrations, and 400 tables * New design includes thematic table of contents, combined glossary of terms, and appendix * Provides color plate sections in each volume * 17 subject areas, including exciting coverage of microbes in extreme environments and microbes in emerging infections
Research Advances in the Study of Campylobacter, Helicobacter & Related Organisms
Campylobacter spp and Helicobacter spp are gastrointestinal pathogens that remain a major cause of acute gastroenteritis and gastric disease, respectively. The 16th International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter and Related Organisms (CHRO) will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada from August 28-September 1, 2011 and will highlight recent advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, survival mechanisms, host response and pathogenesis of these important species. This Research Topic issue will highlight each of these topics and will attempt to shed insight into our growing understanding of the process of host-pathogen interactions as it relates to Campylobacter and Helicobacter.
Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Infektiologie
Rechtzeitig zu Semesterbeginn erscheint die 6. Auflage dieses Lehrbuches. Gründe für eine Neubearbeitung nach nur vier Jahren gab es genug: Infektionen beschäftigen mittlerweile selbst höchste politische Gremien, wie die jährlichen G8-Konferenzen zeigen. Globalisierungsfolgen, z.B. Migration, Kriege und ein Dasein in Flüchtlingslagern sowie die Verelendung ganzer Landstriche, leisten der Verbreitung von Krankheitserregern Vorschub, und die nächste Seuche kommt bestimmt. Die enorme Wichtigkeit der Identifizierung neuer Krankheitserreger wurde vom Nobelkomitee im Jahr 2005 – genau 100 Jahre nach der Ehrung Robert Kochs für die Entdeckung des Tuberkulose-Erregers – durch die Verleih...
