The immune system has evolved in large part to enable organisms to
resist microbial infection. Microorganisms have long been used as
experimental tools by immunologists, and the study of the immune
response to viruses and bacteria has contributed much to our
understanding of basic immunological mechanisms. There are also
important practical and clinical reasons for attempting to
understand the immunology of infections -- these include the
rational design of vaccines, the pathogenesis of infectious
diseases, the advent of AIDS, the rise in drug-resistant
mycobacterial infections and the recognition of the infectious
aetiology of peptic ulcer disease. The contributors to this book
are all chosen for their active involvement and expertise in the
fields. It bridges the divide between basic immunological research
and clinical practice.
