The objective of this surveillance, expensive as it is to the organisms, is to recognise and kill invading microorganisms. Over the past fifty years the cells and mediators involved in our immune defences have been painstakingly identified. However, it is only relatively recently that the ability of microorganisms to evade immunity has been recognised and investigated. Bacterial Evasion of Host Immune Responses introduces the reader to the mechanisms used by bacteria to evade both humoral and cellular immune responses, using systems ranging in complexity from the simple quorum sensing molecules - acyl homoserine lactones - to the supramolecular syringe-like devices of type III secretion systems. This book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in microbiology, immunology, pharmacology and molecular medicine. 410 0$aAdvances in molecular and cellular microbiology ;$v2. 606 $aVirulence (Microbiology)$xMolecular aspects 606 $aImmunity 606 $aBacteria 615 0$aVirulence (Microbiology)$xMolecular aspects. 615 0$aImmunity. 615 0$aBacteria. 676 $a616.07/9 702 $aHenderson$b Brian$c(Professor), 702 $aOyston$b Petra C.
