While diphtheria of the respiratory tract became rare with the introduction of vaccination programs in industrialized countries, even today several thousand cases per year are reported to the World Health Organization. This shows that diphtheria is not completely eradicated and that reservoirs exist. The book summarizes the latest advances made in understanding \u003ci\u003eC. diphtheriae\u003c\/i\u003e and the closely related species \u003ci\u003eCorynebacterium ulcerans\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis\u003c\/i\u003e. Topics addressed are genomics of toxigenic corynebacteria, host-pathogen-interaction, detection, surveillance and treatment as well as application aspects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789400776234\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-007-7624-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 293\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50149676679308,"sku":"9789400776234","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789400776234.jpg?v=1779579381","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789400776234","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
