This book presents current research on the role played by microbial adhesion in the invasion of cells during infection and disease. This is a very active area of investigation, as pharmaceutical companies have recognized that drugs can be designed to interfere with the ability of microorganisms to adhere to cells.

It has been 80 years since the subject of bacterial adhesion to surfaces was first brought forth, but only in the last two decades has the importance of this subject been recognized by medical microbiologists. The fact that bacterial attachment to the host tissue is a prerequisite for infection understandably led to the hope that infections could be prevented by blocking the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria. Progress in this field has been so rapid that it has become difficult to keep up with recent developments. This book contains the proceedings of the symposium on the Molecular...
