Klappentext Reports the latest advances in defining the molecular basis of infection in both bacterial and viral systems. Zusammenfassung This volume focuses on the interactions between the proteins of the infectious agent and the host that has been invaded. Both viral and bacterial systems are considered! with specific examples illustrating the rapid advances being made in defining the molecular mechanisms underlying infection. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
