The mycobacteria are responsible for causing more deaths in animals and man than any other group of microbes; diseases caused by these bacteria include tuberculosis, which kills 3 million a year, and leprosy, infecting 20 million people worldwide. This book reviews current clinical research into the major mycobacterial diseases, and is concerned with the manifestation of the host-pathogen interactions as histologically definable lesions and the signs and symptoms by which the diseases are classified, recognised, and diagnosed; with the behavioural patterns of the diseases in the community, and the way in which studies of these may be used to design and monitor control measures, and also with the development and deployment of effective therapy. The Biology of the Mycobacteria will be an invaluable reference to all those working on mycobacteria, from research or clinical backgrounds.
