Description: Legionella : Molecular Microbiology, Hardcover by Heuner, Klaus (EDT); Swanson, Michele S. (EDT), ISBN 1904455263, ISBN-13 9781904455264, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US With advances in modern molecular genetic and cell biological techniques, much more can be investigated about the pathogen Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease. Edited by Heuner (Institut für Molekulare Infektionsbiologie, U. Würzburg, Germany) and Swanson (microbiology and immunology, U. of Michigan Medical School, US), this volume contains 12 chapters that describe the current state of research concerning the most critical features of Legionalla. Following chapters on the history of the identification and clinical treatment of the disease, contributions address epidemiology, the development cycle of Legionella pneumophila, the genetics and immunology of host resistance to Legionella infection, the flagellar regulation of Legionella pneumophila and the expression of virulence traits, genomics and transcriptomics of Legionella pneumophila, secretion and export in Legionella pneumophila, the Dot/Icm type IVB secretion system of Legionella pneumophila (which is used to export a large number of protein substrates into the cytoplasm of phagocytic cells and thereby allow Legionella to survive and replicate within the normally bactericidal cells), mechanisms of intracellular survival and replication of Legionella pneumophila, nutrient acquisition and assimilation strategies of Legionella pneumophila, and Dictyostelium as a tractable model host organism for Legionella pneumophila.
