Pathogenomics covers the highly dynamic and expanding topic adopts a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to focus on those pathogenic bacteria that are of high scientific and public health interest.

Features:

• Covers all aspects of pathogenomics, clearly divided into sections on methods, genomics and applications
• Details the ongoing development of genome, transcriptome, proteome and bioinformatic analyses of pathogenic microorganisms and their host interactions
• Geared towards a general overview of microbial functional genome analysis and pathogenesis
