Abstract
The 1995 World Health Organization report of infectious-disease deaths indicated there had been more than 13 million deaths world-wide during that year. The majority of those deaths were caused by organisms that first make contact with and then either colonize or cross mucosal surfaces to infect the host. The overall morbidity caused by these organisms and other pathogens that interact with mucosal surfaces is impossible to calculate.Keywords
