Pathogenic Streptococci

Pathogenic StreptococciYuqing Li and Xuedong Zhou present a new book on Pathogenic Streptococci: From Genomics to Systems Biology and Control This timely review, edited by Yuqing Li and Xuedong Zhou, provides a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge of the most important hot-topics in streptococcal research. Topics covered include: CRISPR-Cas systems; genetic regulation by small RNAs; signal transduction by cyclic dinucleotide second messengers; the VicRK and ComDE two-component systems; mobile genetic elements; regulation of cell division; application of omics and bioinformatics tools; intrageneric and intergeneric interactions by oral streptococci; the hypervirulent M1T1 clone of GAS; Streptococcus suis; adhesion and invasion mechanisms; molecular evolution of pathogenic streptococci; novel antimicrobials; vaccine development. This volume is essential reading for everyone working with streptococci from the PhD student to the experienced scientist, in academia, the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industries and for those working in clinical environments read more ...Pathogenic Streptococci: From Genomics to Systems Biology and ControlEdited by: Yuqing Li and Xuedong ZhouEssential reading for everyone working with streptococci from the PhD student to the experienced scientist. read more ...
