Description
Summary:"A comprehensive compendium of scholarly contributions relating to bacterial virulence gene regulation. Provides insights into global control and the switch between distinct infectious states (e.g., acute vs. chronic) and considers key issues about the mechanisms of gene regulation relating to: surface factors, exported toxins and export mechanisms. The book reflects on how the regulation of intracellular lifestyles and the response to stress can ultimately have an impact on the outcome of an infection. In addition, this title highlights and examines some emerging regulatory mechanisms of special significance. Regulation of Bacterial Virulence serves as an ideal compendium of valuable topics for students, researchers and faculty with interests in how the mechanisms of gene regulation ultimately affect the outcome of an array of bacterial infectious diseases."--Pub. desc
