The growing body of information on bacteria pathogenic for humans,
mammals and plants generated within the past ten years has shown
the interesting conservation of newly identified genes that playa
direct role in the pathogenic mechanism. In addition to these
genes, there are also genes that confer host specificities and
other traits important in pathogenesis on these pathogens. In this
volume, we have organized the subject areas to best fit the concept
on the way bacterial pathogens recognize, interact and invade the
host, on the regulation of genes involved in virulence, on the
genes involved in the elaboration of toxins and other pathogenic
components such as iron sequestering proteins, and on the
mechanisms of circumventing the host defense systems. These areas
are divided into Sections. Section I covers the first step when the
pathogen seeks its host, and Sections II through VI cover
subsequent steps leading to pathogenesis while avoiding host
defenses. We conclude this work with a chapter summarizing
information on examples of virulence mechanisms that are highly
conserved.
