Mims' pathogenesis of infectious disease / [electronic resource] Anthony A. Nash, Robert G. Dalziel, J. Ross Fitzgerald. - 6th ed. - 1 online resource (vii, 356 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1.General Principles -- Bibliography -- 2.Attachment to and Entry of Microorganisms into the Body -- 3.Early Stages of Infection After Pathogen Entry -- 4.Encounter of Microbes with Phagocytic Cells -- 5.The Spread of Microbes Through the Body -- 6.The Immune Response to Infection -- 7.Microbial Strategies in Relation to the Immune Response -- 8.Mechanisms of Cell and Tissue Damage -- 9.Recovery from Infection -- 10.Failure to Eliminate Microbe -- 11.Host and Microbial Factors Influencing Susceptibility -- 12.Vaccines and How They Work -- Appendix -- Conclusions.
Annotation This work provides a comprehensive, up-to-date description of the mechanisms of microbial infection and the pathogenesis of infectious disease. Presented in a clear, accessible style, it deals in an integrated manner with the spectrum of microorganisms, bringing together molecular biology, pathology, and immunology to explain the mechanisms for spread, immune response, and recovery.
