Description
The important book describes the molecular mechanisms of the evolution of pathogens, including Helicobacter, Vibrio cholerae, pathogenic E. coli, Staphylococci, and others. The parallel development of the evolution of virulence and drug resistance is also discussed.
This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
