Tóm tắt

 This book describes modern biophysical techniques that enable us to understand and examine dynamic processes of infection at the molecular level. Cutting-edge research articles, laboratory protocols, case studies and up-to-date reviews cover topics such as single-molecule observation of DNA replication repair pathways in E. coli
  evolution of drug resistance in bacteria
  restriction enzymes as barriers to horizontal gene transfer in Staphylococcus aureus
  infectious and bacterial pathogen biofilms
  killing infectious pathogens through DNA damage
  bacterial surfaces in host-pathogen interactions
  bacterial gene regulation by riboswitches
  transcription regulation in enterobacterial pathogens
  the bacterial flagellar motor
  initial surface colonization by bacteria
  Salmonella Typhi host restrictions
  as well as monitoring proton motive force in bacteria
  microbial pathogens using digital holography
  mathematical modelling of microbial pathogen motility
  neutron reflectivity in studying bacterial membranes
  force spectroscopy in studying infection and 4D multi-photon imaging to investigate immune responses. The focus is on the development and application of complex techniques and protocols at the interface of life sciences and physics, which increase the physiological relevance of biophysical investigations.
