Patho-Biotechnology

About this book

In 2006, the termPatho-biotechnology' was coined to describe the exploitation of pathogens, or pathogen derived factors, for beneficial applications in biotechnology, food and medicine.This concept encompasses three broad areas: i. The first approach (outlined in Chapters 1-10) involves the use of selected pathogens as effective prophylactic and/o
