Bacterial Pili
CABI Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-78639-528-3 (ISBN)
Bacterial pili play important roles as environmental sensors, in host colonization and in biofilm formation, enabling bacteria to interact with the environment, with surfaces and with other bacteria and host cells. Most bacteria, both Gram positive and Gram negative, and almost all bacterial pathogens, are piliated. This book discusses the synthesis, structure, evolution, function and role in pathogenesis of these complex structures, and their basis for vaccine development and therapeutics for Streptococcus pathogens. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and students of medical microbiology.
Michele Anne Barocchi received her Ph.D. in Infectious Diseases and Immunity from the University of California, Berkeley in 2003. She has published over 45 peer reviewed papers, collaborated with WHO, The Gates Foundation and the United Nations on Sustainable Development Projects, and has spoken in numerous scientific conferences all over the world regarding health issues in developing countries. John L. Telford was formerly with Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics Srl, Italy.
