Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Aimed at researchers in the field of oral microbial pathogenesis this book reviews in depth the molecular basis of oral pathogenesis and ecology. Leading scientists from around the world have contributed comprehensive and topical reviews on this important area of microbiology. Particular emphasis is placed on recent advances in molecular microbiology and genomics. The book is recommended reading for graduate level courses in oral microbiology.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
