Although adhesion is essential for maintaining members of the normal microflora in/on their host, it is also the crucial first stage in any infectious disease. It is important, therefore, to fully understand the mechanisms underlying bacterial adhesion so that we may be able to develop methods of maintaining our normal (protective) microflora, and of preventing pathogenic bacteria from initiating an infectious process. These topics are increasingly important because of the growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and, consequently, the need to develop alternative approaches for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. This book describes the bacterial structures responsible for adhesion and the molecular mechanisms underlying the adhesion process. It also deals with the consequences of adhesion for both the adherent bacterium and the host cell/tissue to which it has adhered. 410 0$aAdvances in molecular and cellular microbiology ;$v1. 606 $aBacteria$xAdhesion 606 $aMolecular microbiology 606 $aPathology, Cellular 615 0$aBacteria$xAdhesion. 615 0$aMolecular microbiology. 615 0$aPathology, Cellular. 676 $a611.01815 702 $aWilson$b Michael$f1947 April 12- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450514803321 996 $aBacterial adhesion to host tissues$92449931 997 $aUNINA
