Las bacterias, virus, hongos, protozoos y priones son seres "invisibles" que, sin embargo, desarrollan acciones determinantes y paradójicas en nuestras vidas: al mismo tiempo que hacen posible la existencia del pan, los quesos, el chocolate, las bebidas fermentadas y medicamentos, afectan gravemente nuestra salud y son responsables de gran parte de nuestras enfermedades: 7 de cada 10 muertes que se registran en países en vías de industrialización son provocadas por microbios, y 2 de cada 3 tres niños mueren en todo el mundo de enfermedades microbianas.
With new infectious agents, antibiotics, and instances of antimicrobial resistance constantly on the horizon, this field is an ever growing discipline that requires constant vigilance.
This book explores a new challenge in virology: to understand how physical properties of virus particles (virions) and viruses (infected cells) affect the course of an infection.
This book reviews the current knowledge of the globally circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants, highlights their distinct genetic characteristics and associated conformational changes in the viral spike protein, and profoundly discusses the mechanisms of convergent evolution that led to the rise of these mutated strains at different geographic regions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The genus Chlamydia encompasses a number of species of obligate intracellular bacteria, including important human pathogens like the most common bacterial agent of sexually transmitted disease.
This detailed book addresses the continual development and application of new methods and protocols to understand the biology of the pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
This book explores cutting-edge methods to work with the notoriously difficult, but highly prevalent, obligate intracellular pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis.
This volume not only discusses various common biobanking topics, it also delves into less-discussed subjects such as what is needed to start a biobank, training of new biobanking personnel, and ethnic representation in biospecimen research.
Chemotherapy is one of the major treatment options for cancer patients; however, the efficacy of chemotherapeutic management of cancer is severely limited by multidrug resistance, in that cancer cells become simultaneously resistant to many structurally and mechanistically unrelated drugs.
Leading basic researchers and clinical scientists describe in detail a wide variety of established and cutting-edge techniques they have developed to study the lifecycle and biological properties of the human papillomavirus.
The development and rapid implementation of molecular genotyping methods have re- lutionized the possibility for differentiation and classification of microorganisms at the subspecies level.

This book entitled "e;Cancer Stem Cell Markers and Related Network Path-ways"e; is about cancer stem cell (CSC) markers and the molecular network pathways.
Antibiotics, the backbone of modern clinical-medicine, are facing serious challenges from emerging antimicrobial-resistance (AMR), a complicated phenomenon expanding in bacterial species, from nosocomial to community origins, where microbes are no longer sensitive to a range of commonly used antibiotics.
The book analyses microbiome-relevant findings focused on clinical needs providing the roadmap to implement recent achievements in the area representing a valuable contribution to the paradigm shift from reactive to predictive, preventive and personalised medicine (PPPM / 3PM) considered as the most advanced concept in medicine.
Una historia más pertinente que nunca sobre los microbios, las bacterias y cómo la enfermedad afecta nuestra vida cotidiana y a la prosperidad de nuestras sociedades.
This book discusses the sources, human health hazards and risk prevention strategies associated with aeolian dust particles (fine and ultrafine) in the atmosphere.
Green Products in Food Safety explores the potential of green chemicals in the sustainable management of food biodeterioration agents and addresses the current existing limitations of green products for their sustainable application.
