The book discusses salmonella, the formation of biofilm, and biofilm associated bacterial infection. It aims to provide insight on how salmonellosis and biofilm relate to one another as well as how they relate to other diseases in the host. It also discusses the therapeutic strategy for reducing salmonella infection and current treatment options. Salmonella Biofilms, Infection, and Therapeutic Management is a useful reference for those engaged in the study of the study of salmonella biofilm, its formation, disease manifestation, and management.
- Provides the most recent knowledge on salmonellosis and its relationship to biofilm
- Describes different types of salmonella bacteria and biofilm as well as the regulatory and virulence mechanisms of salmonella
- Examines the mechanisms of Salmonella biofilm formation and the relationship between this and other aspects of Salmonella physiology
Researchers, graduate students, postgraduates working and studying in the area of microbiology, infectious disease, bacterial infection, biofilm development, drug resistance, biomonitoring, and therapeutics, industry professionals working on antibiofilm agents, pharmaceutical scientists researching therapeutic approaches to bacterial infections with biofilm, Clinicians dealing with bacterial infection and biofilm diseases
