Microbial Genomic Islands in Adaptation and Pathogenicity

Microbial Genomic Islands in Adaptation and Pathogenicity by Indra Mani, Vijai Singh, Khalid J. Alzahrani, Dinh-Toi Chu
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 369 Pages | ISBN : 9811993416 | 20.7 MB

This book elucidates the role of microbial genomic islands (GEIs) in genome stability, plasticity, evolutionary adaptation, and pathogenicity in the bacterial population. The initial chapters of the book present tools, including bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, next-generation sequencing, and molecular biology techniques, for the analysis of the genomic islands.

Antibiofilm Strategies: Current and Future Applications to Prevent, Control and Eradicate Biofilms

Antibiofilm Strategies: Current and Future Applications to Prevent, Control and Eradicate Biofilms by Katharina Richter, Kasper Nørskov Kragh

Bacteria and fungi are able to aggregate together or on surfaces in densely packed microcolonies, facilitated by extracellular polymeric substances for cell protection and stability. These biofilms have proven to be extremely hard to eradicate and remove once established. In chronic infections, this condition can result in a high degree of morbidity and mortality as regular antibiotic treatments are ineffective against biofilms. In industrial facilities, the formation of biofilms can ruin production and result in enormous financial losses.
