Summary Focuses on some major general findings about bacterial genomes. This book discusses their impact on strategy and approach for investigating mechanisms of pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of infectious diseases. It also focuses on the value and power of genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics as applied to various bacterial pathogens
