This introductory textbook explores bacterial disease mechanisms and bacteria-host interactions. The central premise is that bacteria have evolved by means of manipulating normal host cell functions and overcoming host defense systems to ensure their survival. As well as offering a new perspective on the classical bacterial virulence mechanisms, this book outlines the new molecular techniques developed to unravel the complexity of bacteria-host interactions. Current research may lead not only to a better understanding of disease mechanisms, but also to new means of preventing and/or treating bacterial infections.

"...the authors provide a comprehensive introduction to this exciting hybrid of disciplines..." ASM News
"...a welcome teaching tool for introducing students to this rapidly growing field.... this text offers a comprehensive look at the molecular mechanisms that allow bacterial pathogens to manipulate normal host cell functions for their own benefit.... the authors do an impressive job of providing an up-to-date view of the major concepts in the interactions between prokaryotic pathogens and their eukaryotic hosts.... Bacterial Disease Mechanisms is likely to become a mainstay for those who teach microbial pathogenesis as well as a useful starting point for researchers interested in acquainting themselves with concepts underpinning this exciting field."

Book Description
This introductory cellular microbiology textbook describes how bacteria cause human diseases. It offers a new perspective on the way in which bacteria damage their human host. It differs from other books on the subject by describing disease mechanisms in terms of the way in which bacteria subvert normal host cell functions and defense systems to ensure their own survival. Molecular techniques used to investigate these mechanisms are also discussed. Bacterial Disease Mechanisms will provide a core textbook for students taking courses on cellular and molecular microbiology, pathogenicity and medical microbiology.

Old but gold,

This review is from: Bacterial Disease Mechanisms: An Introduction to Cellular Microbiology (Paperback)
This book is old but you will enjoy every explaination in this book. I would say this is one of the most interesting bacterial mechanism book you can find. I especially love the order of content in this book. Buy this if you want to know the basic mechanism behind a toxin's effect or how a bacteria attaches to its host cell.
