About this Item

Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page, followed by a bit of eligible writing that may be a second signature, "To Neil Nathan who in a short time has taught me much, Lida Mattman." Hardcover, stated 2nd edition in good condition. This would be a very-good copy but for itnense underlining through the first 20 pages - apparently that's as far as they made it into the text. The remaining chapters appear clean and unmarked. Minor shelfwear to the covers(mostly scuffing). Binding is sturdy. 404 pp., color and b/w photos. A detailed microbiology textbook.

About this title

Synopsis

Cell Wall Deficient Forms: Stealth Pathogens, 2nd Edition, is a comprehensive text-reference that covers major aspects of cell wall deficient microbes (L forms). The book discusses protoplasts as efficient genetic tools, L forms essential to the food chain for their ability to reclaim nitrogen in the air, an L form pathogenic to a flowering plant, and new information on male sterility caused by streptococcal L forms in drosophila.

Synopsis

A comprehensive text-reference which covers major aspects of cell wall deficient microbes (L forms). The book discusses protoplasts as efficient genetic tools, L forms essential to the food chain for their ability to reclaim nitrogen in the air, an L form pathogenic to a flowering plant, and new information on male sterility caused by streptococcal L forms in drosphila. This new edition covers the L forms implicated in sarcoidosis, chronic stages of rheumatoid arthritis, uveitis, Crohn's disease, and Whipple's disease. AIDs-related data covered includes micrographs of an agent found in six Kaposi cases that resembles clinical L forms. The book presents methods for rapid diagnosing of common serious infections such as tuberculosis; describes little-known characteristics of mycobacterium leprae, including optimum temperature and pH. The book is aimed at haematologists, cellular biologists, microbiologists and clinical laboratory personnel.
