Stress response in pathogenic bacteria [

The ability of pathogenic bacteria to adapt to various chemical, biochemical and physical conditions within the human host and their ability to respond to stresses generated in these environments is a central feature of infectious diseases and the outcoe of bacterial infection. This book covers the...
