Fimbriae Adhesion, Genetics, Biogenesis, and Vaccines - Bok av Per Klemm - Inbunden

Fimbriae are the best-studied bacterial colonization factors. They are of paramount importance in bacterial pathogenesis and microbial ecology. This work reviews selected types of fimbriae and examines fundamental questions such as evolution, control or regulation, biogenesis, bacteria-host interaction, and fimbriae-based vaccines.
