Virulence and Pathogenicity of Major Bacterial Pathogens — Tome 1: Gram-Positive Pathogens

Résumé

This volume introduces the main concepts of bacterial virulence and pathogenicity, including virulence factors, immune evasion, regulation, genomics, transmission, and anti-virulence strategies. It then applies these concepts to major pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium tetani, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, covering epidemiology, mechanisms of disease, clinical progression, antimicrobial resistance, and prevention.
