With forecasts that they will cause one of every five fatalities worldwide over the next few decades , infectious illnesses continue to pose a serious threat to human health .

This issue is only made worse by the alarming rise in antibiotic resistance among bacterial infections . Many pathogenic bacteria have evolved a variety of complex defenses against the host’s immunological response ; some even take advantage of host processes to circumvent immune cell identification . The creation of fresh antibacterial tactics may benefit from a comprehension of the mechanisms underlying this subversion , which is essential for comprehending bacterial pathogenesis . Expert authors critically examine the most significant recent findings in this fascinating topic in this volume .

The seven most significant bacterial secretion systems , within-host envelope remodelling , manipulation of host autophagy by pathogens , sensing and restriction of bacterial replication mechanisms , Salmonella evasion mechanisms , mycobacterial evasion strategies and the role of cyclic di-GMP in virulence and plant immune system evasion are among the topics covered . This book is required reading for anybody conducting research on bacterial pathogenesis and it serves as a priceless resource for those in careers as varied as medicine , biotechnology , agriculture , food and industry . An investment that is advised for all microbiological labs .
