This volume describes the mechanisms which bacteria have created to
secure their survival, proliferation and dissemination by
subverting the actin cytoskeleton of host cells. Bacteria have
developed a veritable arsenal of toxins, effector proteins and
virulence factors that allow them to modify the properties of the
intracellular actin cytoskeleton for their own purposes. Bacterial
factors either modify actin directly as the main component of this
part of the cytoskeleton or functionally subvert regulatory or
signalling proteins terminating at the actin cytoskeleton. In
short, this volume provides an overview of the various tricks
bacteria have evolved to "act on actin" in order to hijack this
essential host cell component for their own needs. As such, it will
be of interest to scientists from many fields, as well as
clinicians whose work involves infectious diseases.
