Overview

This volume delivers a compendium of detailed protocols to the research community in order to aid in the investigation and discovery of Yersinia virulence mechanisms using important in vivo and in vitro infection models, which have led to major advances in the field and in our understanding of Yersinia pathogen-host interactions. Beginning with a section on mouse models, the book continues with chapters covering the monitoring of bacteria during infection, invertebrate models, as well as Yersinia interaction with immune cells and immune signaling. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.  Comprehensive and authoritative, Pathogenic Yersinia: Methods and Protocols providesa single source for researchers seeking to better understand these pathogens and the diseases they produce in humans.

Reviews

The book is written for the research community, including novices. Clinicians and parasitologists with an interest in investigation and discovery of Yersinia virulence mechanisms may also find this book helpful and interesting. ... This is a wonderful resource for understanding the investigation and discovery of the virulence mechanisms of Yersinia. ... This book is quite unique in covering the methods and protocols related to Yersinia pathogen-host interactions. (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Book Reviews, November 01, 2019)
