About the Book

Pathogenic Microorganisms: Biology and Impact provides a detailed examination of the biology, behavior and clinical significance of microorganisms that cause diseases in humans, animals and plants. The book covers a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, exploring their mechanisms of infection, pathogenicity and survival strategies. It also addresses the impact of these microorganisms on public health, highlighting the challenges of diagnosis, treatment and prevention, as well as the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance. The book integrates microbiological principles with clinical applications, offering valuable insights into the control and management of infectious diseases. This volume is an essential resource for students, researchers and professionals in microbiology, infectious disease and public health.

Scope

This book provides an in-depth examination of pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. It explores their biology, mechanisms of pathogenicity, and the impact they have on human health and the environment. The book covers the molecular and cellular interactions between pathogens and host organisms, the epidemiology of infectious diseases, and strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It is designed for students, researchers, and professionals in microbiology, infectious diseases, and related fields, offering a comprehensive understanding of how pathogenic microorganisms cause disease and how these diseases can be managed.
