Most bacteria, both Gram positive and Gram negative, and almost all bacterial pathogens, are piliated. This book discusses the synthesis, structure, evolution, function and role in pathogenesis of these complex structures, and their basis for vaccine development and therapeutics for Streptococcus pathogens. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and students of medical microbiAdvances in molecular and cellular microbiology ;27.Pili (Microbiology)Pili (Microbiology)579.26Barocchi Michèle A.Telford John L.Baker Edward N.Cutts RachelMcCann EmmaC.A.B.
