{"product_id":"legionella-klaus-heuner-9781904455264","title":"Legionella: Molecular Microbiology","description":"\u003cp\u003eLegionellosis is a disease of significant medical and public interest. \u003cem\u003eLegionella\u003c\/em\u003e is commonly found in aquatic habitats where its ability to survive and to multiply within different protozoa equips the bacterium to be transmissible and pathogenic to humans. In addition \u003cem\u003eLegionella\u003c\/em\u003e has become a favored model system to analyse the mechanisms of bacterial survival, acquisition of nutrients and intracellular replication. Following the recent publication of the genome sequences of four \u003cem\u003eL. pneumophila\u003c\/em\u003e strains it is now feasible to investigate the whole genome \u003cem\u003ein silico\u003c\/em\u003e, the transcriptome via micro arrays and the proteome by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Research in the fields of clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and epidemiology continues to generate new data. The topics covered by this volume range from the history of the identification of \u003cem\u003eLegionella\u003c\/em\u003e and clinical disease treatment, to the microbe's gene expression and secretion systems as well as its strategies for intracellular multiplication and nutrient acquisition. The main focus of the book is the current state of many of the most critical features of \u003cem\u003eLegionella\u003c\/em\u003e. Internationally renowned authors have contributed chapters describing and discussing the latest research findings with an emphasis on molecular aspects. The editors and authors have produced an excellent book that will be an extremely useful reference source. This comprehensive publication is aimed at readers with teaching or research interests in microbiology, genetics, genomics, infectious diseases or clinical research. A recommended book for all microbiology and clinical research laboratories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Klaus Heuner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904455263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904455264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caister Academic Press Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.00w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 90","brand":"Klaus Heuner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45478805176575,"sku":"9781904455264","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb8ce9f9-f5aa-4710-92b1-f60e68368a10.jpg?v=1715935773","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legionella-klaus-heuner-9781904455264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
