Overview

Entercocci are among the vanguard of antibiotic-resistant bacteria both because they are intrinsically unaffected by antibiotics and because they have acquired resistance genes to counter the antibiotics that once were effective. This new volume offers a comprehensive primary text on entercocci and covers the pathogenesis of infection, molecular biology, and antibiotic resistance. The Entercocci will be of great value to those dealing with the consequences of antibiotic-resistant infection, those activel engaged in entercoccal research, and those searching for a scientific basis for public policy decisions.
