Unifying Microbial Mechanisms

Shared Strategies of Pathogenesis

Ebook (EPUB Format)

Microbial pathogenesis is the study of the mechanisms by which microbes (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and multicellular parasites) cause infectious disease and make their hosts (humans) ill. Bacterial infections we thought were easily treatable are again a huge cause for concern with the well-publicized rise of antibiotic resistance. There are very few effective antiviral drugs and we live with the threat of epidemics such as bird flu and the outbreaks of viruses such the recent (and ongoing) Ebola crisis.

Über den Autor

Mike Cole is an experienced instructor at Georgetown University where he is professor of microbiology and immunology and teaches microbial pathogenesis, immunology, and bacteriology. His research interests are into the regulation of commensal and pathogenic bacteria at the mucosal surface by the secretory immune response and the ontogeny of the secretory immune system. He regularly attends the ASM education conference and is the author of half the bacterial cases in Case Studies in Infectious Disease.
