Gram-Positive Pathogens, 3rd Edition

Gram-Positive Pathogens

Gram-Positive Pathogens is a comprehensive microbiology reference focusing on the biology, genetics, immunology, and pathogenic mechanisms of major Gram-positive bacteria. The book examines how these organisms cause disease, with particular emphasis on streptococci, staphylococci, Listeria, and spore-forming pathogens. The updated edition incorporates genomic sequencing data, advances in understanding bacterial structure, mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, and emerging concepts in bacterial pathogenicity.
