Mycobacterial Survival Strategies in Unconventional Niches - Sachin Sharma - Bog

In Mycobacterial Survival Strategies in Unconventional Niches, Sachin Sharma delves into the remarkable ability of mycobacteria to survive and persist in a wide range of non-traditional environments. The book explores the molecular mechanisms and physiological adaptations that enable mycobacteria to thrive in unconventional niches such as biofilms, host cells, and environmental reservoirs.
The book begins with an overview of mycobacterial biology and ecology, followed by a discussion of the various non-traditional niches in which mycobacteria can be found. Sharma then delves into the specific strategies employed by mycobacteria to adapt to these environments, including changes in cell morphology, metabolism, and gene expression.
The author also covers the latest research on the role of mycobacterial persistence in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases. Additionally, the book discusses the potential implications of mycobacterial survival strategies for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Overall, Mycobacterial Survival Strategies in Unconventional Niches provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the fascinating biology of mycobacteria and their ability to survive in a wide range of environments. The book will be of interest to researchers, clinicians, and students working in microbiology, infectious diseases, and related fields, as well as anyone interested in the molecular mechanisms of microbial adaptation and survival.
