Bacterial Pili: Structure, Synthesis and Role in Disease
Through the application of molecular and cellular microbiology, we now recognize
the diversity and dominance of microbial life forms on our planet, which exist in all
environments. These microbes have many important planetary roles, but for us
humans a major problem is their ability to colonize our tissues and cause disease. The
same techniques of molecular and cellular microbiology have been applied to the
problems of human and animal infection during the past two decades and have
proved to be immensely powerful tools in elucidating how microorganisms cause
human pathology. This series has the aim of providing information on the advances
that have been made in the application of molecular and cellular microbiology to
specifi c organisms and the diseases that they cause. The series is edited by researchers
active in the application of molecular and cellular microbiology to human disease
states. Each volume focuses on a particular aspect of infectious disease and will
enable graduate students and researchers to keep up with the rapidly diversifying
literature in current microbiological research.
