描述 | .This book covers the wide set of well-regulated virulence factors and defense mechanisms of .Pseudomonas aeruginosa .focusing on stress responses and the evolution of this opportunistic human pathogen...Pseudomonas aeruginosa. is responsible for one out of ten hospital infections. Additionally, this Gram-negative bacterium is accountable for persistent infections in immunocompromised individuals and the leading cause of chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients.. This book provides insight on the metabolic versatility of .Pseudomonas aeruginosa. and its mechanisms for biofilm formation that make this organism highly efficient in causing infections. The book invites the readers to learn more about the intrinsic ability of .Pseudomonas aeruginosa. to resist a wide variety of antimicrobial agents due to the concerted action of multidrug efflux pumps, antibiotic-degrading enzymes, and the low permeability of bacterial cellular envelopes. Particular focus is put on the evolutionary role of different types of protein-secretion systems in pathogenesis, flagella and their role in chemotaxis and surface sensing, and host-pathogen interactions...This book is a useful introducti |
