In addition, some strains are thought to be probiotic, and therefore beneficial to the host. However, other strains of \u003cem\u003eE. coli \u003c\/em\u003ehave evolved into highly versatile, and frequently deadly, pathogens: the resultant diseases causing significant economic loss and public health burdens worldwide. Recent studies have shown that the\u003cem\u003e E. coli\u003c\/em\u003e genome has a high plasticity allowing it to adapt to new niches and survive in stressful conditions and to evolve into new hybrid strains with shared genes, including virulence genes. Omics and whole genome sequencing approaches have transformed research in this field allowing fascinating new insights into the molecular and cellular biology of the bacterium thus paving the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Under the expert guidance of the editors in this book, renowned international authors provide timely and up-to-date reviews of current cutting-edge\u003cem\u003e E. coli \u003c\/em\u003eomics, molecular- and cellular-biology research. Topics range from\u003cem\u003e E. coli\u003c\/em\u003e genome plasticity and evolution to the application of omics technologies for\u003cem\u003e in silico \u003c\/em\u003emodeling to understand stress-triggered physiological responses. This authoritative volume is essential reading for scientists, both experts and students, working on pathogenic\u003cem\u003e E. coli\u003c\/em\u003e in academia, government, and biotechnology companies. It is also a must-read for anyone with an interest in bacterial pathogenesis and an important acquisition for all microbiology libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pina M.
