Opis: Dimorphism in Human Pathogenic - Ernst Schmidt

The importance of yeast pathogens causing life-threatening systemic and tenacious superficial infections in humans has been steadily increasing over the last few decades. Species of the genus Candida, as well as dimorphic fungi with a pathogenic yeast phase such as Histoplasma and Cryptococcus species cause systemic mycosis mainly in immunocompromised patients and following long-term therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics and/or antifungals. In recent years, our knowledge of the molecular biology of yeast pathogens has increased dramatically and is beginning to affect diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. A wealth of new information has appeared on the key virulence factors of yeast pathogens, including dimorphism, which is one of the striking features of most yeast pathogens. Written by international experts in the field, this book introduces yeast pathogens with a comprehensive guideline on yeast systematics and taxonomy.Systematics and taxonomy of yeast, C.P. Kurtsman; molecular approaches for analysing diversity and phylogeny among yeast species, R.F. Petersen et al; yeast infections in humans with special emphasis on malassezia furfur and infections caused by "rare" yeast species, A. Schimdt; yeast infections in veterinary medicine, S. Hormansdoefer, J. Bauer; therapy of yeast-associated infections, M. Ruhnke; regulations of dimorphism in candida albicans, J.F. Ernest; gene regulation during morphogenesis in candida albicans, A.J.P. Brown et al; extracellular proteinases of human pathogenic fungi, B. Hube; the cell surface of candida albicans during morphogenesis, E. Valentin et al; yarrowia lipolytica - an organism amenable to genetic manipulation as a model for analysing dimorphism in fungi, A. Dominguez et al; cytoskeletal proteins and morphogenesis in candida albicans and yarrowia lipolytica, C. Kurischko, R.K. Swoboda; pseudohyphal development of sacharomyces cerevisiae, H.-U. Mosch; dimorphism in histoplasma capsulatum and blastomyces dermatitis, B. Maresca, G.S. Kobayashi; morphogenesis of cryptococcus neoformans, J.A. Alspaugh et al.
