Description
Molecular Basis of Oral Microbial Adhesion provides an in-depth exploration of the fundamental mechanisms by which microorganisms colonize the oral environment. Edited by leading microbiologist Stephan E. Mergenhagen, this volume examines the molecular interactions between bacterial cells and oral tissues at the cellular and biochemical level.
The book addresses key topics including adhesion molecules, receptor-ligand interactions, and the role of extracellular polysaccharides in biofilm formation. It synthesizes current research on how pathogenic and commensal oral bacteria establish infections and maintain ecological niches within the mouth. This work is essential for understanding dental plaque formation, periodontal disease, and oral infections.
Designed for microbiologists, dental researchers, and scientists studying host-pathogen interactions, this resource bridges laboratory findings with clinical implications in oral health and disease.
