Abstract
Enterococci are among the vanguard of antibiotic-resistant bacteria both because they are intrinsically unaffected by antibiotics and because they have acquired resistance genes to counter the antibiotics that once were effective. This new volume offers a comprehensive primary text on enterococci and covers the pathogenesis of infection, molecular biology, and antibiotic resistance. The Enterococci will be of great value to those dealing with the consequences of antibiotic-resistant infection, those actively engaged in enterococcal research, and those searching for a scientific basis for public policy decisions. Electronic Only, 439 pages, illustrations, index.
