"A splendidly written book... the authors have achieved their goal and the book should be useful to students and researchers in many subject areas." (Microbiology Today, November 2000)

Die Zellmikrobiologie ist ein neues Forschungsgebiet der Mikrobiologie, das sich mit der Wechselwirkung zwischen Zellen und Mikroben - insbesondere zwischen Eukaryotenzellen und Bakterien - befaßt. Diese Einführung eignet sich ideal für Studenten mittlerer Semester: Anerkannte Experten stellen einen konsistenten Bezug zwischen molekularer und Zellbiologie und Krankheitsbildern des Menschen her.
