Contents:
Surface protein adhesins of staphylococci / Timothy J. Foster -- Mechanisms of utilization of host signalling molecules by respiratory mucosal pathogens / Mumtaz Virji -- Adhesive surface structures of oral streptococci / Roderick McNab, Pauline S. Handley and Howard F. Jenkinson -- Regulation and function of phase variation in Escherichia coli / Ian Blomfield and Marjan van der Woude -- Regulation of capsule expression / Clare Taylor and Ian S. Roberts -- Role of pili in Haemophilus influenzae adherence, colonization and disease / Janet R. Gilsdorf -- Transcriptional regulation of meningococcal gene expression upon adhesion to target cells / Muhamed-Kheir Taha -- Induction of protein secretion by Yersinia enterocolitica through contact with eukaryotic cells / Dorothy E. Pierson -- Functional modulation of pathogenic bacteria upon contact with host target cells / Andreas U. Kresse, Frank Ebel and Carlos A. Guzmán -- Adhesion, signal transduction and mucosal inflammation / Catharina Svanborg [and others] -- Adhesion of oral spirochaetes to host cells and its cytopathogenic consequences / Richard P. Ellen -- Interactions between enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and epithelial cells / Elizabeth L. Hartland, Gad Frankel and Stuart Knutton -- Host cell responses to Porphyromonas gingivalis and Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans / Richard J. Lamont.
Summary: Bacterial adhesion to host cells/tissues is essential for maintaining normal, protective host microflora. It is also the crucial first stage in any infectious disease. The molecular mechanisms described in this book are therefore of great interest to microbiologists and those seeking means of preventing and treating bacterial infections.
