Escherichia coli: Pathotypes and Principles of Pathogenesis

Escherichia coli: Pathotypes and Principles of Pathogenesis

A comprehensive scientific reference on the biology, pathogenesis, genomics, and evolution of Escherichia coli. It examines the molecular mechanisms underlying different E. coli pathotypes, their intestinal and extra-intestinal infections, and the virulence factors responsible for disease.

Key Features:

• E. coli biology and molecular mechanisms
• Pathotypes and disease-causing strains
• Molecular basis of pathogenesis
• Genomics and evolutionary biology
• Intestinal and extra-intestinal infections
• Pathotype-specific virulence mechanisms
• Common and shared virulence factors
• Detailed strain characteristics
• Current research and scientific references
• Suitable for researchers, graduate students, and medical and veterinary microbiology studies
