E. Coli Infections. Causes, Treatment and Prevention - Bacteriology Research Developments

Description:

This new book presents topical research in the study of E. coli infections, including urinary tract infections caused by E. coli; aptamer-based detection and therapeutics to prevent and treat E. coli infections; Lactoferrin as a novel natural host defense protein; enterotoxigenic escherichia coli colonization factors and the prevention of E. coli using organic acids.
