Bacterial Survival in the Hostile Environment

Variety of bacteria are present in our environment but only a few of  these bacteria causes diseases in their hosts including humans. These  bacteria face different stresses in the environment as well as inside  the host and adapt number of strategies for their survival. In 5 parts  Bacterial Survival in the Hostile Environment covers all tactics and  strategies adopted by bacteria for their survival under stressed  conditions and will be focused on mechanistic insights of pathogenic  adaptations to host environments (acidic environment, microaerobic  conditions, immune system stress, metal stress etc., modulation of host  pathways by pathogens for survival, dormancy, drug tolerance and  resistance, proteins for stress survival). The content also includes  different adaptation mechanisms of extremophiles to extreme environment,  provides a complete and globally available advance knowledge related to  bacterial survival from different perspectives and reviews the  knowledge gaps and future prospects in the field of microbial adaptation  for sustainable development of in the field of infection biology and  pharmaceutics.
