Summary:"This book brings together a group of diverse scientists - evolutionary biologists, immunologists, molecular biologists, microbiologists, pathologists, and mathematicians - to discuss the evolution and mechanisms of bacteria-host interactions at all levels of complexity, ranging from associations of one bacterium with its host to the many hundreds of bacteria normally associated with mammals. Chapters deal with the evolution of bacteria-host interactions over the last 60 years (since the introduction of antibiotics) to a period of 3.8 billion years (since the evolution of single-celled life) and discuss bacterial interactions with multicellular life forms such as coral reefs, insects, mice, and men. This book should be of interest to the widest range of biological scientists."--BOOK JACKET.
