| This book is one of the first to provide an up-to-date view on a fundamental issue in medical microbiology research: how the accumulated genetic and genomic information is contributing to our understanding of virulence factors and the evolution of virulence in microbial pathogens. Scientists have suspected that microbial species change each other's digestive roles, and researchers are now beginning to work out these complex interactions. The original microbial identification kits were based on redox reactions that produce a color change in microwells; that is, when cells utilize carbon for energy, they turn a colorless dye purple. |
