Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El peligro que tienen las enfermedades infecciosas no se ha ido. Está empeorando. Aunque no sabemos dónde aparecerá el nuevo virus o la nueva bacteria, es seguro que habrá nuevos brotes». Robert Shope, epidemiólogo De la mano del autor de Superbacterias emprendemos un colosal viaje a la historia de la lucha contra el mayor enemigo de la humanidad: las bacterias patógenas. Las bacterias estaban aquí mucho antes de que los seres humanos poblaran la Tierra, y seguirán con sus minúsculos asuntos cuando nos hayamos extinguido. Desde hace más de 10.000 años, muchos de estos microorganismos han castigado a nuestra especie con un sin fin de enfermedades infecciosas —peste, sífilis, lepra, tifus, cólera, tuberculosis...—, que en algunos casos diezmaron seriamente las sociedades que construimos. Hemos intentado combatirlas de la mejor manera que sabíamos; pero la Microbiología no vino al rescate de la humanidad hasta bien entrado el siglo xix; así que hemos pasado en torno al 99% de nuestro tiempo sobre el planeta combatiendo con magia algo que no veíamos, un enemigo invisible y ponzoñoso que nos hacía enfermar. Afortunadamente, el conocimiento humano que llegó de la mano de brillantes colosos como van Leeuwenhoek, Snow, Pasteur, Metchnikoff, Lister, Koch o Fleming, permitió el esclarecimiento de uno de los misterios que había atemorizado a la humanidad desde sus orígenes. ¿Quién era el asesino silencioso que aniquilaba a mujeres, hombres y niños de todas las razas y religiones? Prepárese a conocer, de la forma más bella y sugerente posible, la historia de cómo nos hemos enfrentado —en una lucha atroz y desigual— contra las bacterias patógenas. «La humanidad está impotente contra un enemigo desconocido e invisible». Louis Pasteur, 1880 «Los humanos viven en un mar de microbios. Algunos están alrededor y otros incluso dentro de nosotros». Louis-Félix-Achille Kelsch (1841-1911)

This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how pathogenic bacteria cause diseases, how the human immune system launches timely and effective defense mechanisms against bacterial infection, why the discovery and application of penicillin and streptomycin are so important, how scientists have created medicines to defeat bacteria, and why these bacteria might outsmart modern medicine.On the other hand, bacteria can be beneficial to humans: some bacteria live in harmony with the human body, and they are indispensable to our health. They also help in refining biological energy in the post-fossil fuel era, and in producing fermented food.With accessible language, illustrations and comics, this book tells the story of our tumultuous relationship with bacteria and how it has shaped history.

Book excerpt: The reviews in this volume deal with questions of the mechanisms of pathogenesis and with organisms that have only recently been extensively studied on the molecular level.**The introductory section presents an overview of pathogenesis, emphasizing common elements and genetic mechanisms of regulation and a review on the population genetics of bacterial pathogenesis. The second section deals with the regulation of synthesis of surface components and their role in the colonization of the host and/or of the host immune systems. The third section covers the invasion and intracellular growth of facultative and obligate intracellular parasites. The last section is devoted to studies of the role of bacterial toxic products in pathogenesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathogenic bacteria are the main problem in hospital- and community-acquired infections. As bacteria continue to develop more resistance to antibiotics, it is imperative to develop antibacterial treatment strategies. Written by experts from all over the world, this book examines pathogenic bacteria and their link to multidrug resistance. Over thirteen chapters, it presents examples of pathogenesis, virulence factors, and treatment strategies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The meeting on "Microbial Surface Components and Toxins in Relation to Pathogenesis" was held on May 15-19, 1989, in the Mitzpe Rachel guesthouse of Kibbutz Ramat Rachel in Israel. Four major topics formed the basis for the meeting: adhesion and colonization; cell invasion and intracellular multipli cation; evasion of host defenses; toxins and systemic effects. The presentations clearly show that our understanding of the pathology, pathogenesis and bacteria-host cell inter-action has greatly advanced over the last few years. The contributions to our knowledge on the biogenesis of adhesins and their molecular organization, as well as on the mechanism of adherence to infected target tissue by pathogenic bacteria, have been particularly impressive. significant progress has been made in defining the nature of pathogenic and cytotoxic factors produced by bacteria, and much has been learned about the biochemical and antigenic modifications occurring in diverse types of host cells upon infection. The discussions of poly saccharide capsules, bacterial endotoxins and secreted toxins illustrated the challenge and the possibilities for vaccine development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability of pathogenic bacteria to adapt to various chemical, biochemical and physical conditions within the human host and their ability to respond to stresses generated in these environments is a central feature of infectious diseases and the outcome of bacterial infection. This book covers the key aspects of this rapidly developing field, including the generation of stresses by the host immune system, bacterial response to reactive chemicals, and adaptation to environmental conditions of anatomical niches such as the gut, mouth and urogenital tract. It also addresses the increasing impor.
