About this title

Synopsis:

Twenty articles by leading researchers summarize from an interdisciplinary perspective the current understanding of the interactions that occur between the surface layers of micro-organisms, particularly bacteria, and the animal host. The papers are derived from the Eighteenth Workshop Conference Hoeschst held in Schloss: Ringberg, West Germany, in October 1987. The contributions emphasize microbial infection and pathogenicity and consider yeasts, fungi, and protozoa in addition to bacteria. Other topics treated include bacterial endotoxins and cell wall degradation products.
