About this book

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.
