Research in microbial ecology has revealed tools and concepts which can stimulate medical microbiology. Similarly, some of the best research in microbial ecology has been carried out by medical microbiologists trying to understand how microorganisms survive and live in a particular ecological niche in the human body. This volume emphasizes how interaction between these two disciplines can stimulate research approaches and lead to unifying concepts. Experts review important topics in microbiology, including quorum sensing, horizontal gene transfer in Vibrio cholerae, anthrax toxin, invasion mechanisms, bacterial bleaching of corals, response to starvation, cell-to-cell interactions, natural genetic engineering, and prions. Each chapter offers a general introduction to the topic, a specific introduction to the research, a critical evaluation of research on the subject, and a special section on unresolved questions and future research. The book also provides an up-to-date and comprehensive bibliography.
