Phage
Role in Pathogenesis and Biotechnology

Providing comprehensive and accessible information in phage-bacteria interactions including: lysogeny, lysogenic conversion, and phage directed host cell lysis, phage regulatory circuits that control virulence gene expression, this book includes high frequency recombination and phage display, and critical analysis of phage therapy.

This book provides comprehensive and accessible information in following areas: phage-bacteria interactions including: lysogeny, lysogenic conversion, and phage directed host cell lysis; phage regulatory circuits that control virulence gene expression; evolutionary forces in selection and maintenance of phages bearing virulence genes; phage contributions to pathogenicity of E. coli, Salmonella, Mycobacteria, Vibrio, Bordetella, Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Pneumococcus, Mycoplasma, and Listeria; applied phage technologies, including high frequency recombination and phage display; critical analysis of phage therapy.
