Metabolism Meets Virulence - International Symposium on Metabolism and Bacterial Pathogensis

We have detailed knowledge about microbial virulence factors. However, we are just beginning to understand how bacteria feed themselves during an infection and how they adapt their metabolism to the eukaryotic host.
In the following volume, scientists who are focusing on pathogenic bacteria, bacterial physiology, regulation, analysis of the metabolome and the symbiosis between microbe and host, report on approaches used for analyzing metabolism during infections and the in-silico modeling of metabolic networks.
Topics include general aspects of bacterial metabolism, global regulation of bacterial metabolism, the significance of RNA biology for bacterial metabolism and virulence, the metabolic adaption of pathogens to extra-cellular or intra-cellular lifestyles, the role of bio-films in bacterial communication and the transition from parasitic to endosymbiotic lifestyle. All articles are in English.

Relazione

"Though the book is very useful for research purpose, it has offered to the medical microbiologist an insight into the intracellular level regarding the mechanisms operating for virulence. As further studies will be carried out based on these findings, infectious disease specialists and pharmacologists will benefit from the results by discovering new drugs affecting these mechanisms of bacterial metabolism, and therefore will be employed for treating bacterial infection."
