Theinitial research goal was to understand the mechanism of attachmentand its effects on the bacteria as well as the host. As researchprogressed, however, it became evident that many differentattachment mechanisms exist. These diverse forms of adhesion arethe results of numerous evolutionary pressures, and each may bepart of a larger behavioral strategy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This comprehensive overview details how diversity in habitat andecological requirements has led to enormous variety in adhesivecell components, underlying genetic determinants, and behavioralstrategies. It presents the latest research on adhesion mechanismsand strategies found in diverse environments and microorganisms,including the new environment of biomaterials.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bacterial Adhesion: Molecular and Ecological Diversity examinesadhesion as a strategy for nutrient access and as a phase in thecomplex behavior of life cycle processes. It covers the latestresearch and innovative approaches in the field, including:\u003cbr\u003e * Conceptual advances in research on the adhesion of bacteria tooral surfaces\u003cbr\u003e * Enhancing colonization in a fluctuating environment\u003cbr\u003e * The cellulosome: a cell-surface organelle for the adhesion to anddegradation of cellulose\u003cbr\u003e * Pseudomonas aeruginosa--versatile attachment mechanisms\u003cbr\u003e * Sensing, response, and adaptation to surfaces\u003cbr\u003e * Myxococcus coadhesion and role in the life cycle\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Edited by a leading authority on bacterial adhesion and featuringcontributions from the field's leading experts, this book speaks toresearchers in all areas of microbiology, biotechnology,environmental technology, and environmental science, as well asurology, immunology, and infectious diseases.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bacterial Adhesion: Molecular and Ecological Diversity is thelatest addition to the Wiley Series in Ecological and AppliedMicrobiology.
