内容説明

An examination of persistent bacterial infections in the light of ecological and evolutionary principles. * Focuses on the principles of parasitism and commensalism and our ability to distinguish the two states. * Explores the ways in which persistent infections differ from acute, self-limiting bacterial infections and how both differ from the nonpathogenic commensal state. * Addresses coevolution, host adaptation, natural selection, and other fundamental biological principles. * Serves as a resource for investigators and advanced students in the field of bacterial pathogenesis. This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
