Organisms replicate only when conditions are beneficial and, when not replicating, they concentrate on survival of environmental stresses. Many bacteria that harm humans survive the period of infection in a low growth state. This book addresses the basic science of microbial dormancy and low growth states, putting this information in the context of human medicine. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in medical microbiology, immunology and infectious...

Many bacteria that harm humans survive the period of infection in a low growth state. This book addresses the basic science of microbial dormancy and low growth states, putting this information in the context of human medicine. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers in medical microbiology, immunology and infectious disease medicine who are interested in bacterial dormancy in relation to disease.
