  This book reviews the current concepts in biofilm formation and its implications in human health and disease. The initial chapters introduce the mechanisms of biofilm formation and its composition. Subsequently, the chapters discuss the role of biofilm in acute and chronic infections. It also explores the pivotal role of both innate and adaptive immunity on the course of biofilm infection. In addition, the book elucidates the bacterial biofilm formation on implantable devices and the current approaches to its treatment and prevention. It analyzes the possible relationship between antimicrobial resistance and biofilm formation. Finally, the book also summarizes the current state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches for preventing and treating biofilms. This book is a useful resource for researchers in the field of microbiology, clinical microbiology, and also medical practitioners. Read more Close

  • Springer
  • 16 May 2024
  • 9789819994625

  This book examines the development and applications of system biology approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and understanding of disease mechanisms. It explores the applications of system biology in infectious diseases, including host-pathogen interaction, and the identification of targets for new therapeutics and intervention strategies. It covers the use of system biology for understanding and treating metabolic disorders towards personalized and precision medicine. The book further discusses the systems biology approaches for understanding the mechanisms of tumor progression and designing more effective cancer therapies. The chapter also reviews the current strategies in autoimmune disease treatment and highlights the opportunity that systems biology represents for the development of better and safer treatments. Importantly, the book discusses the current state of the systems-level understanding of diseases and both the therapeutic and adverse mechanisms of drug actions usingsystem biology approaches. Cutting across the disciplines, this book is a valuable source for researchers in genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology, and biomedical sciences.? Read more Close

  Biofilm Associated Livestock Diseases and their Management

  Rina Rani Ray, Moupriya Nag, Dibyajit Lahiri, Debasmita Bhattacharya

  • Springer
  • 8 April 2025
  • 9789819618859

  The book discusses biofilms and adherent communities of microorganisms that play a significant role in livestock-associated infections. It explores the characteristics, formation, and consequences of biofilms in various livestock species and explains their involvement in diseases like mastitis, Johne's disease, caseous lymphadenitis, and more. It also explains intricate aspects of biofilm-related challenges, such as virulence, antibiotic resistance, quorum sensing, and inter-species communication. The book then explores the strategies for combatting biofilm-associated infections, encompassing phytomedicines, novel antimicrobials, and nanomedicines.
  
  This book serves as a great resource for researchers, veterinary practitioners and students by addressing these critical issues and providing a comprehensive understanding of biofilm dynamics in livestock infections, fostering improved diagnosis and treatment methodologies.
