About The Book:

This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of microbial pathogenesis, focusing on key bacterial pathogens and how advancements in the field were made through the use of recombinant DNA and molecular techniques. The pioneering work of Dr. Stanley Falkow, including his discoveries on plasmids, transposons, and antibiotic resistance, is highlighted. Dr. Falkow also contributed to the development of DNA probes for diagnosing bacterial infections and studying bacterial-host cell interactions.

The book is divided into multiple parts:

• Part 1 covers the foundational state of microbial research during the 1960s, offering insights into the laboratory environment and experiments that shaped the field.

• Parts 2-6 include 29 topical reviews from Falkow's lab alumni, providing cutting-edge insights into molecular pathogenesis.

The text serves as an important historical and scientific resource for anyone interested in microbial genetics, pathogenesis, and molecular biology.
