There is currently no vaccine for preventing \u003cem\u003eS. aureus \u003c\/em\u003einfections and the bacterium has developed resistance to many, if not most, antibiotics, hence the therapeutic options are rapidly disappearing. The genetic and physiological flexibility that allows this commensal bacterium to become a powerful pathogen and elucidating the myriad of mechanisms it employs to avoid the host and\/or antimicrobials are important areas of research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book brings together respected \u003cem\u003eS. aureus \u003c\/em\u003eexperts from around the world to provide a timely overview of staphylococcal research. Topics covered include: medical significance; genetic variation; virulence factors; metabolism; proteomics; cell wall assembly; antibiotic resistance; genetic regulation; and immune response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEssential reading for scientists working with staphylococci.
