This important reference volume provides research scientists, advanced students, clinicians, and other professionals with a comprehensive update on the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis in \u003cem\u003eNeisseria\u003c\/em\u003e. The editors have assembled a team of highly regarded scientists, over 40 contributors, to describe the latest, up-to-date research, theory and clinical significance of molecular mechanisms in meningococcal disease. Leading authorities have contributed chapters on topics such as gene expression, genomics, biofilms, denitrification, adhesion strategies and mechanisms of cellular invasion. A section on the host response to neisserial infection covers inate immunity, complement, apoptosis, and acquired immunity while a section devoted to clinical correlation deals with vaccine development, epidemiology and antibiotic resistance. The volume is highly recommended for microbiologists, epidemiologists and clinicians involved with \u003cem\u003eNeisseria\u003c\/em\u003e research or meningococcal disease and is a recommended text for all microbiology libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Genco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904455514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904455516\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 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010 pg. 63","brand":"Caroline Genco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153860407551,"sku":"9781904455516","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f82b7d5b-4ca1-4933-80c5-fcfda34f8e7b.jpg?v=1770786320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neisseria-caroline-genco-9781904455516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
