Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli and Other Shiga Toxin-Producing E. Coli
Cheese and Microbes
Edited by Vanessa Sperandio and Carolyn J. Hovde
A scientific overview of the association of microbes with cheese, through the lens of select cheese varieties that result due to surface mold ripening, internal mold ripening, rind washing, cave aging, or surface smear rind development. This book explains the process of transformation of milk to cheese and how sensory attributes of cheese are evaluated; provides an overview of cheese safety and regulations governing cheese making, both in the US and abroad, to ensure safety; explores how the tools of molecular biology provide new insights into the complexity of the microbial diversity of cheeses; examines the biodiversity of traditional cheeses as a result of traditional practices, and overviews research on the stability of the microbial consortium of select traditional cheese varieties.
This book summarizes the amazing international efforts to understand and advance the treatment of enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and Shigatoxigenic E. coli (STEC) disease. Expert authors discuss the genomics, pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical interventions, and the status of cytotoxin-producing E. coli in its bovine/environmental reservoirs, the foods implicated, and potential food safety interventions. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli and Other Shiga Toxin–Producing E. coli is intended for students, scientists, and other medical, public health, and microbiology professionals.

People, Animals, and the Environment Ronald M. Atlas and Stanley Maloy The One Health initiative was born of the perception that veterinarians working on diseases of animals, plant pathologists working on diseases of plants, and microbiologists and infectious diseases professionals working on emerging diseases and outbreaks in humans were often working on similar problems or only part of the larger picture. If humans are to be healthy, they must live in a healthy environment. This book presents the concepts of the One Health Initiative to a wide audience of scientists, professionals, and the general public. Written by scientists working in the field, this book will provide a series of "stories" about how disruption of the environment and transmission from animal hosts is responsible for emerging human and animal diseases.

Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases The Neglected Tropical Diseases and their Impact on Global Health and Development Peter J. Hotez The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are the most common infections of the world’s poor, but few people know about these diseases and why they are so important. This second edition of Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases provides an overview of the NTDs and how they devastate the poor, essentially trapping them in a vicious cycle of extreme poverty by preventing them from working or attaining their full intellectual and cognitive development. Author Dr Peter J. Hotez highlights a new opportunity to control and perhaps eliminate these ancient scourges, though alliances between nongovernmental development organisations and private-public partnerships to create a successful environment for mass drug administration and product development activities. Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases is an essential resource for anyone seeking a roadmap to coordinate global advocacy and mobilization of resources to combat NTDs.

Two-Component Signal Transduction
Tuberculosis
James A Hoch and Thomas J Silhavy Signal transduction across biological membranes is crucial in enabling cells to recognize and respond to their environment. Over the past ten years, investigators working in prokaryotic molecular biology have identified a number of two-component genetic switches that mediate bacterial signal transduction for essential metabolic and developmental functions and numerous other cellular activities, including regulation of virulence factors in pathogenic bacteria. Edited and written by leading scientists, this book is the first comprehensive reference/text to cover hte molecular nd cellular biology of a wide variety of two-component signal transduction systems in bacteria.

Abraham L Sonenshein, James A Hoch and Richard M Losick Bacillus subtilis has become the principle paradigm for analysis of the physiology of gram-positive bacteria, bacterial differentiation, and useful applications of bacterial products. Sequencing of whole bacterial genomes and the experimental approaches made possible by accessibility to the sequences have brought a new perspective to microbiology.

Principles of Microbial Diversity James W. Brown Principles of Microbial Diversity fills a currently empty niche in microbiology textbooks and provides a current and comprehensive view of microbial diversity. Divided into 3 sections, begins with a practical guide to molecular phylogenetic analysis, focusing on how to create and interpret phylogenetic trees, and an overview or survey of “the Tree of Life”. Section 2 focuses on the major phylogenetic groups of Bacteria and Archaea. Section 3 considers primary research literature. The book concludes with a discussion of various conceptual aspects of microbial complexity, from genomics and cell biology. The textbook includes a series of ‘Questions for Thought’ at the end of each chapter.
