Bacterial pili : structure, synthesis, and role in disease /
This book provides a comprehensive review of available research on the structure, synthesis and role in disease of bacterial pili. The first 6 chapters are about pili in gram-negative bacteria, and review the contribution of many scientists, beginning with the first experiments by Lederberg and Tatu...
