Opportunistic intracellular bacteria and immunity

Opportunistic intracellular bacteria and immunity / edited by Lois J. Paradise and Herman Friedman and Mauro Bendinelli.

Opportunistic, intracellular bacterial infections are in the forefront of research today because of the challenges they present to the immunocompromised patient. In this volume, the pathogenesis and immune reaction of these intracellular infections is featured, as are the most typical problems relat...
