This volume delivers a compendium of detailed prools to the research community in order to aid in the investigation and discovery of
Yersinia
virulence mechanisms using important
in vivo
and
in vitro
infection models, which have led to major advances in the field and in our understanding of
pathogen-host interactions. Beginning with a section on mouse models, the book continues with chapters covering the monitoring of bacteria during infection, invertebrate models, as well as
interaction with immune cells and immune signaling. Written for the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Comprehensive and authoritative,
Pathogenic
: Methods and Prools
providesa single source for researchers seeking to better understand these pathogens and the diseases they produce in humans.
