Microbial Stress Survival explores the diversity of microbes, the microbe-host relationship, and the various strategies employed by microbes that enable them to adapt to stressful environments and persist in hostile conditions. The book aims to cover critical pathogen biology, microbial adaptation and survival strategies, and the impact of microbial resilience on therapeutic efforts. Topics include the modulation of host pathways by pathogens for their adaptation and survival; their drug tolerance and antimicrobial resistance; role of proteins in microbial stress survival; and evolutionary adaptative mechanisms of extremophiles. Microbial Stress Survival is an insightful resource for those interested in pathogen biology and the different adaptive features and resilience of microbes.
