Pili in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Structure, Function, and Therapeutic Advances
About this book
Pili in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis: Structure, Function, and Therapeutic Advances discusses the types of pili produced by the tuberculosis-causing bacterium, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTBC. The book examines the structure of pili shown under electron and atomic force microscopy and by using whole genome sequencing, outlines the importance of pili in mycobacterium tuberculosis. It also explores the role of pili in bacteria-host interactions and in drug development and delivery.
Pili in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis opens with an overview of the structure, synthesis, and function of pili in bacteria. This includes taxonomy and the role of pili in diseases. The book also examines the preparation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis for electronic and atomic microscopy and looks at the different life cycles and susceptibility patterns of MTBC. It does on to discuss the expression and function of pili using whole genome sequencing and PCR-based methods and delves into bacteria host interactions. Lastly, it explores the development of new drugs and its delivery by pili.
- Covers the structure, synthesis, and function of pili produced by the tuberculosis-causing bacterium, MTB
- Introduces seven types of pili in MTB
- Explains the mechanism of bacteria–host attachment and importance of this phenomena in MTB pili and other bacteria
- Emphasizes the use of advances techniques to study and investigate the TB-bacilli and its interaction with host cells
