Description
Book SynopsisUses studies of enteric bacteria to set the stage for the analysis of the genetics of polysaccharides and other bacterial pathogens. This volume presents the genetic analysis of polysaccharides from a number of bacteria pathogenic to humans and one symbiotic with plants in hopes that similarities in the experimental approaches.
