The only known habitats of \u003ci\u003eH. somni \u003c\/i\u003eare the mucosal surfaces of ruminants, making this bacterium an opportunistic pathogen. Although it is capable of causing inflammation at systemic sites and is toxic to epithelial and phagocytic cells, the bacterium’s wide array of virulence factors act primarily as a defense against, or to escaperecognition from, host innate and adaptive immunity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-04-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319295541\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-29556-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 160\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378587582604,"sku":"9783319295541","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319295541.jpg?v=1775707283","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319295541","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
