Particular focus is put on the evolutionary role of different types of protein-secretion systems in pathogenesis, flagella and their role in chemotaxis and surface sensing, and host-pathogen interactions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a useful introduction to the field for junior scientists interested in the biology and pathogenesis of \u003ci\u003ePseudomonas aeruginosa\u003c\/i\u003e. It is also an interesting read for advanced scientists and medical specialists working within this field, providing a broader view of the topic beyond their specific area of specialization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031084935\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-08491-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 445\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44806308266124,"sku":"9783031084935","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031084935_33e90fc3-3a6f-4ae7-84e9-9fe5eb92f5e2.jpg?v=1777376403","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031084935","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
