Fungal Pathogenesis: Principles and Clinical Applications (Mycology)

Comprehensive and concise, Fungal Pathogenesis offers a survey of virulence factors, host responses and recognition, treatment and diagnosis of infections, invasive enzymes, intracellular survival, morphogenesis, adaptation, and properties of major fungal pathogens that contribute to disease. It focuses on human fungal infections, including candidiasis, pneumocystosis, aspergillosis, and cryptococcosis, and contains over 3700 references. The author discusses molecular and biochemical studies of opportunistic and frank fungal pathogens and contains research into the virulence, immunity, diagnosis, and therapy of common fungal infections.Richard Calderone is the author of 'Fungal Pathogenesis: Principles and Clinical Applications (Mycology)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780824705688 and ISBN 0824705688.
