• Sommario/riassunto: "A comprehensive examination of this burgeoning area of important research. Covers bacterial human pathogen genomes, structure and dynamics of the host cell membrane, study of prokaryotic biology using genome-wide approaches, cell biology of virus infection, and use of simple nonvertebrate hosts to model mammalian pathogenesis. Acquaints scientists and graduate-level students with a valuable source of reference in an emerging field. Integrates the two important fields of cell biology and microbiology."
