Bacteria-host cell interaction: Proceedings of a Director's Sponsors-UCLA Symposium, held in Park City, Utah, February 13-19, 1987 (UCLA symposia on molecular and cellular biology)
(Presents a comprehensive review of recent research result...)
Presents a comprehensive review of recent research results on cellular and molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis. Covers host bacterial mechanisms (e.g. defensins, complement, oxidative metabolites, and bacterial/permeability increasing protein), virulence-related membrane proteins (including descriptions of structure, function, properties, and molecular biology of three gonococcal outer membrane proteins), and host cell receptor interaction with bacterial ligands, including bacterial attachment to host epithelial cells and the role of receptor-ligand interactions in uropathogenesis. Also discusses effects of lipopolysaccharides in host cell metabolism, influence of capsular structure on interactions of the capsule with host antibody and complement, genetics of bacteria-host interaction, and other topics.
