Dormancy and Low Growth States in Microbial Disease

Klappentext Comprehensive 2003 review of research concerning microbial dormancy in the context of human disease. Zusammenfassung Many bacteria survive infection of their host in a low growth state! including the classic persistent infectious bacteria! tuberculosis. This 2003 book will interest microbiologists! medical microbiologists and infectious disease clinicians who are interested in learning more about the fundamental science of bacterial dormancy in relation to disease.
