Fungal Pathogenesis
Principles and Clinical Applications
edited by Richard A. Calderone

Fungal Pathogenesis offers a current and concise survey of human pathogenic fungi.

Covers:

virulence factors host responses and recognition treatment and diagnosis of infections invasive enzymes intracellular survival morphogenesis adaptation properties of major fungal pathogens that contribute to disease
