Overview

Bacteria can be found in almost every ecological niche on the planet. While most of them are harmless to humans, some of them can cause diseases, these bacteria are known as pathogenic bacteria. They have evolved sophisticated multi-protein secretion systems to interact with their environment. The proteins secreted by pathogenic bacteria into the cells of their host are termed as bacterial effectors. The secretion systems play a significant role in bacterial competitiveness and the pathogenesis of a variety of clinically relevant opportunistic and professional human pathogens. A wide range of intracellular processes including phagocytosis, endocytic trafficking, secretory trafficking, secretory pathway, apoptosis, etc. are regulated by bacterial effectors. The topics included in this book on bacterial pathogens and their relationship with human diseases are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. It consists of contributions made by international experts. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
