Bacteria and Intracellularity (ASM Books) delves into the sophisticated field of cellular microbiology, showcasing how research into host-bacterial pathogen interactions has advanced significantly over decades. The book elucidates common concepts in intracellularity while also highlighting the diversity of mechanisms that underlie various bacterial infections. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, including:

• Foodborne pathogens and their interaction with the gut and its microbiota
• Infections of the urogenital tract, endothelial barriers, and the nervous system
• Major advances in work with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. leprae
• Subcellular microbiology, focusing on metabolism of infected cells, nuclear biology, and microRNAs
• Endosymbionts, particularly the latest findings on Wolbachia and its role in transmitting viral pathogens to insects
• Research into cell autonomous defense pathways that have contributed significantly to our understanding of immunology and innate immunity

This comprehensive volume, authored by Pascale Cossart, offers a detailed exploration of the latest studies and findings in bacterial intracellularity. It is published by ASM Press and was released on December 20, 2019, with the ISBN-13: 978-1683673545.
