Viral, Parasitic, Bacterial, and Fungal Infections: Anti-Microbial, Host Defense, and Therapeutic Strategies

Viral, Parasitic, Bacterial, and Fungal Infections: Anti-Microbial, Host Defense, and Therapeutic Strategies highlights diverse types of infections, including viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal, and the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and other medications. This book addresses the molecular, pathophysiological and cellular pathways involved in the process of infection. It also examines host defense mechanisms by innate and adaptive immunity. Sections cover definitions, classification, etiology, pathophysiology and the diagnosis of infections. Contributed by experts in the field, this book comprehensively details various types of infections, their molecular mechanisms, and therapeutic strategies for those who engage in the research and treatment of infectious diseases. Details the pathophysiology of various classes of infections Examines mechanisms of pathogenesis and immunity as well as therapeutics in bacterial, viral and eukaryote diseases Provides therapeutic strategies and other modalities for treating infections INDICE: INTRODUCTION 1.
