Mitochondria and Bacterial Pathogens - Part B

Mitochondria and Bacterial Pathogens, Part B, Volume 375 discusses different pathogenic mechanisms that converge on the ability of bacteria to control the mitochondrial compartment of host cells. Chapters in this new release include Interaction between host cell mitochondria and Coxiella Burnetii, Control of mitochondrial functions by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis, Mitochondrial and bacterial ATP synthase: Structural similarities and divergences to exploit in the battle against M. tuberculosis, Role of mitochondria in the enteropathogenic Escherichia coli disease, Mitochondria dynamics and antibiotic resistance, and more. - Provides a collection of articles reporting on the role of mitochondria during bacterial infection - Covers Mitochondria, the evolutionary successors of an ancient endosymbiotic prokaryote, occupy a central position in the biology of modern eukaryotic cells - Includes content on numerous pathogenic bacteria and how they have evolved strategies to subvert the mitochondrial functions of host cells in support of proliferation and dissemination
