{"product_id":"pasteurellaceae-peter-kuhnert-9781904455349","title":"Pasteurellaceae: Biology, Genomics and Molecular Aspects","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePasteurellaceae\u003c\/em\u003e comprise a large and diverse family of Gram-negative bacteria with members ranging from important pathogens such as \u003cem\u003eHaemophilus influenzae\u003c\/em\u003e to commensals of the animal and human mucosa. Information on the biology of these organisms has mushroomed in recent years, driven by the development of novel genetic and molecular methodologies. Since 1995, the family has been expanded from three genera to the current thirteen through the use of new genetic-based classification and identification technologies. Many members of the \u003cem\u003ePasteurellaceae\u003c\/em\u003e family make excellent natural models for the study of bacterial pathogenesis and host-pathogen-interactions thus giving valuable insights into related human diseases. Research in this area is at a very exciting stage. In this timely book, leading international \u003cem\u003ePasteurellaceae\u003c\/em\u003e scientists critically review the most important current research providing an up-to-date review of the molecular biology, genomics and virulence of these fascinating organisms. Topics covered include taxonomy and biodiversity, phylogeny, comparative genomics, competence, DNA uptake and transformation, proteomics and protein secretion, RTX toxins, lipopolysaccharides, biofilms, quorum sensing, antimicrobial resistance, diagnosis, and OMP and iron uptake. Each chapter is independent and can be read in isolation and as a whole the book provides an important resource summarising our current knowledge of \u003cem\u003ePasteurellaceae\u003c\/em\u003e genomics and molecular biology. Essential reading for everyone working on \u003cem\u003ePasteurellaceae\u003c\/em\u003e and related organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kuhnert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1904455344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904455349\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 08\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Peter Kuhnert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088942706943,"sku":"9781904455349","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97aabf1e-077b-4e4c-9d51-c74aa496eb7f.jpg?v=1769107411","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pasteurellaceae-peter-kuhnert-9781904455349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
