基本説明
Provides timely updates containing the latest genove data on the various pathogens; Dissects organisms biologically, genetically, and immunologically to provide clear understanding of strategies bacteria use to cause human disease.
Full Description
Provides comprehensive coverage of all gram-positive pathogens, including genome data. * Dissects organisms biologically, genetically, and immunologically to provide a clear understanding of the strategies gram-positive bacteria use to cause human disease. * Appeals to clinicians, infectious disease specialists, and instructors and students seeking a single reference source on gram-positive bacteria. This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
