Description
This volume of Methods in Enzymology contains contributions covering the wide spectrum of interactions between bacterial pathogens and their eukaryotic hosts. It complements Volume 235, in which methods for the isolation and identification of bacterial pathogens and associated virulence determinants are described. Since the study of bacterial pathogenesis borrows from a great variety of technologies and disciplines, we aim to provide the reader with a representative sample of the most advanced pathogenesis research.

Audience
Microbiologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, geneticists, pathologists, and immunologists (from MIE 235).
