Plague, a re-emerging disease, is endemic in many parts of the world. The extraordinary pathogenicity of \u003cem\u003eY. pestis\u003c\/em\u003e makes it a potential bioterrorist weapon. On the other hand, the two enteropathogenic \u003cem\u003eYersinia\u003c\/em\u003e species represent the third most common bacterial cause of gastroenteritis in Europe and probably elsewhere, although their prevalence is largely underestimated. This and the emergence of antibiotic resistant \u003cem\u003eY. pestis\u003c\/em\u003e in recent years highlight the urgency to understand the mechanisms of pathogenicity and the need to devise new strategies for the prevention and control of human pathogenic \u003cem\u003eYersinia\u003c\/em\u003e. In this book, leading \u003cem\u003eYersinia\u003c\/em\u003e researchers review the hot topics in the systems biology and control of these important bacteria. Topics include: transcriptome analysis of the bacterial response to the host and of the host response to a \u003cem\u003eYersinia\u003c\/em\u003e infection; proteome analysis of the bacterial and host responses; treatment and antibiotic resistance; vaccines; surveillance and control. Essential reading for everyone working on \u003cem\u003eYersinia\u003c\/em\u003e and related organisms and recommended reading for researchers interested in biodefence, microbial genomics and the evolution of microbial virulence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabeth Carniel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908230053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908230058\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 07\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Elisabeth Carniel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453950374143,"sku":"9781908230058","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc2f886a-a439-4f6a-a76e-fe6da71f2014.jpg?v=1777303227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yersinia-elisabeth-carniel-9781908230058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
