Actinobacteria
have an extensive bioactive secondary metabolism and produce a huge amount of
naturally derived antibiotics, as well as many anticancer, anthelmintic, and
antifungal compounds. In this book, we present the experience of worldwide
specialists in the field of Actinobacteria, exploring their current knowledge
and future prospects.
This book is a
list of bacteria that are significant in medicine. It is not intended as an
exhaustive list of all bacterial species: that should be at List of bacteria.
This book has been
written for those who are beginning the study of bacteriology and especially for
those who plan to specialize in the subject. It is concerned chiefly with a
discussion of the important principles and facts of bacteriology which a student
should acquire in order to realize to the fullest extent the more advanced work
on the subject.
This book
first presents the basic concepts of the immune response, bacterial
structure, taxonomy, metabolism, and genetics. Subsequent chapters emphasize
normal relationships among bacteria on external surfaces, mechanisms by which
microorganisms damage the host, host defense mechanisms, source and distribution
of pathogens (epidemiology), principles of diagnosis and mechanisms of action of
antimicrobial drugs.
