This book provides essential
insights into microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and
the anti-microbial drug resistance of various human pathogens on the
basis of various model organisms.
The initial sections of the
book introduce readers to the mechanisms of microbial pathogenesis,
host-pathogen interactions, anti-microbial drug resistance, and the
dynamics of biofilm formation. Due to the emergence of various microbial
resistant strains, it is especially important to understand the
prognosis for microbial infections, disease progression profiles, and
mechanisms of resistance to antibiotic therapy in order to develop novel
therapeutic strategies.
In turn, the second part of the book
presents a comparative analysis of various animal models to help readers
understand microbial pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions,
anti-microbial drug discovery, anti-biofilm therapeutics, and treatment
regimes. Given its scope, the book represents a valuable asset for
microbiologists, biotechnologists, medical professionals, drug
development researchers, and pharmacologists alike.
