Contents The contentious taxonomy of mollicutes -- Genomic mosaics -- Molecular genetic tools for mollicutes -- Identification and characterization of virulence genes in mycoplasmas -- Post-translational modification of proteins in the mollicutes -- Multifunctional cytoadherence factors -- The glycocalyx of mollicutes -- Glycosidase activity in mollicutes -- Current insights into phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas -- Spiroplasma transmission from insects to plants -- Organization of the cytoskeletons of diverse mollicutes -- Gliding mechanism of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae subgroup -- Biofilm formation by mycoplasmas -- Host immune responses to mycoplasmas -- Emerging antimicrobial resistance in mycoplasmas of humans and animals
Summary "In this book acknowledged experts critically review the most recent advances in the evolution, genetics, and molecular pathogenesis of these important pathogens. Topics covered include: taxonomy; genomic mosaics; molecular genetic tools for mollicutes; identification and characterization of virulence genes in mycoplasmas; post-translational modification of proteins; multifunctional cytoadherence factors; the glycocalyx; glycosidase activity; phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas; spiroplasma transmission from insect to plants; organization of cytoskeletons; gliding mechanism of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae subgroup; biofilm formation by mycoplasmas; host immune responses to mycoplasmas; and emerging antimicrobial resistance in mycoplasmas of humans and animals."-- Back cover
