Created by leading international experts, Mycoplasmas: Molecular Biology, Pathogenicity, and Strategies for Control represents a cutting-edge summary of current knowledge in the field. Mycoplasmas, or mollicutes, form a large group of bacteria that can infect humans, animals, and plants. This comprehensive text focuses on the molecular and cell biology of mycoplasmas and related mollicutes. It also explores pathogenesis and emerging strategies for control. Coverage includes a variety of topics including genome analysis, gene vectors, genomics, motility, chemotaxis, attachment, molecular epidemiology, immunology, diagnosis, antimicrobial resistance, and vaccine technology.
"This book represents the state of the art on research into mollicutes. …Much of this material will be consolidated into accepted theories over time and will eventually become standard information. At this time, however this is the best information that we have on the rapidly changing field." -Books-On-Line "A useful, up-to-date and fairly thorough book on a subject matter which, although far from specialist in nature, is not overly represented in the reference book market…a recommended purchase for individuals and institutes/libraries wanting to keep up to date with the field." -John March, in Microbiology Today, 2006
