The Actin Cytoskeleton and Bacterial Infection

The Actin Cytoskeleton and Bacterial Infection edited by Hans Georg Mannherz.

This volume describes the mechanisms which bacteria have created to secure their survival, proliferation and dissemination by subverting the actin cytoskeleton of host cells. Bacteria have developed a veritable arsenal of toxins, effector proteins and virulence factors that allow them to modify the...
