Ninety percent of the cells in the human body are bacteria, and
humans may be host to many thousands of different species of
bacteria. These striking statistics are part of a new paradigm in
microbiology in which bacteria are no longer viewed as
disease-causing killers but more as lifelong partners which are
often essential for the survival of their host. 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. Chapters
deal with the evolution of these 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 from
coral reefs to humans. Researchers and graduate students across the
life sciences will find this book of interest.
