»Vi vil ha´ wienerbrød, vi vil ha´ wienerbrød!« To små baktusser bor i Jens´ hule tand. De elsker sukker og søde sager og prøver at få Jens til at glemme tandbørsten. De er nemlig meget bange for den store, stride børste.

Bacterial Disease Mechanisms

Antibiotic resistance and our consequent inability to treat many bacterial infections had fuelled an urgent need to understand the means by which bacteria cause disease. This has lead to a renaissance in research into bacterial disease mechanisms and the birth of a new discipline - Cellular Microbiology. The fruits of such research and how they have lead to a new perspective on bacteria-host interactions are described in this introductory textbook. The central premise is that bacteria have evolved means of manipulating normal host cell functions and overcoming host defence systems to ensure their survival. As well as offering a new perspective on the classical bacterial virulence mechanisms, this book outlines the new molecular techniques developed to unravel the complexity of bacteria-host interactions. Current research may lead not only to a better understanding of disease mechanisms, but also to new means of preventing and/or treating bacterial infections.

E-nummerbogen

Bag om E-numrene
E-nummerbogen giver en komplet oversigt over og beskrivelse af samtlige tilladte tilsætningsstoffer, og bogen kan bruges både professionelt og hjemme i køkkenet.

Den stadig stigende industrialisering af fødevareproduktionen betyder generelt et større udvalg af fødevarer men også et øget brug af tilsætningsstoffer. Bogen går bag om E-numrene og sætter dig i stand til at afkode varedeklarationerne.

I bogen går de to forfattere også tæt på ingredienser, der ikke har et E-nummer, men som kan være lige så problematiske med hensyn til vildledning og sundhed som nogle af tilsætningsstofferne.

Få blandt andet svar på følgende spørgsmål:

Hvilke stoffer er naturlige, og hvilke er syntetiske?
Hvordan er tilsætningsstofferne fremstillet?
Hvilke madvarer må de anvendes i, og hvad bruges de til?
Hvad kan stofferne betyde for dit helbred?
Hvilke økologiske varer må stofferne bruges i?
Hvilke stoffer skal man være på vagt overfor eller helt undgå som allergiker?
Hvilke stoffer kan være uacceptable for jøder og muslimer?

Bogen er udgivet for FDB

Buster Baktus - den store vaskehænderbog

Med billedbogen ”Buster Baktus: den store vaskehænderbog” kan forældre, lærere og pædagoger på en underholdende måde lære småbørn at vaske hænder.
Hvert eneste småbarn må gennemsnitligt blive hjemme 12 dage om året, fordi barnet er sygt. Det er ikke alene synd for barnet, men det betyder også, at mor eller far må blive hjemme fra arbejde for at passe barnet. De mange sygedage som følge af snotnæser og manglende hygiejne belaster både forældre og skoler.
Så det er bare med at komme i gang ved håndvasken.
Børnene i børnehaver og indskolingen kan få hjælp til at lære at vaske hænderne ordentligt med den nye morsomme billedbog ”Buster Baktus: Den store vaskehænderbog”, der er skrevet af Ulrik T. Skafte. Historien foregår dybt nede i en snavset og beskidt fold på hænderne af drengen Mikkel. Her lever en masse bakterier. Bakterierne hygger sig rigtigt og breder sig, fordi Mikkel aldrig vasker hænder. Det får store konsekvenser. Børnehaven må lukke, fordi alle er syge. Først da Mikkel og alle de andre børn lærer at vaske hænder, bliver det hele bedre igen.
Buster Baktus udkommer i den kendte serie ”Lille Bi zoomer ind p娅” Bogen er på 32 sider, i hard cover og stort format, 295 mm høj og 215 mm bred. Sidst i bogen er der en vaskehænder-guide til børnene og infosider til forældre, lærere og pædagoger.

Veterinær mikrobiologi - Grampositive bakterier

Veterinær mikrobiologi 1-2 gennemgår de basale mikrobiologiske kundskaber af betydning for klinik/patologi samt miljø- og levnedsmiddelhygiejne. Bøgerne vægter den laboratoriemæssige diagnostik, ligesom der redegøres for principperne for isolation af forskellige mikroorganismer.

Methods for General and Molecular Microbiology

This volume is a state-of-the-art revision of the previously published "Methods for General and Molecular Bacteriology". This new, expanded edition offers comprehensive coverage of methods and includes archaea and filamentous fungi, in addition to bacteria.

Bacteriology of Humans

This title is the winner of the 1st Prize, 'New Authored Books' category, Royal Society of Medicine and Society of Authors Medical Book Awards 2008. 'Overall, I am impressed by the up-to date information content and structure provided in Bacteriology of Humans. It is truly an ecological perspective helpful for undergraduate/graduate majors in microbiology and immunology' - "American Society for Microbiology", June 2009. 'Wilson provides the reader with an up-to-date, comprehensive census of the indigenous microorganisms that inhabit the human body and in so doing contributes significantly to this rapidly advancing area of study. The narrative is clearly written; the index is excellent; there are numerous bibliographic citations. Each chapter is rich with tables, diagrams, color micrographs, and charts ...Highly recommended' - "Choice Reviews". 'This comprehensive, yet accessible text...is an excellent and informative reference book...it should be on the shelf of every major science and medical library. The content, organization, and presentation make this book a unique resource' - "Doody's Book Reviews". Until recently, the indigenous microbiota of humans has been a relatively neglected area of microbiology with most attention being focused on those microbes that cause disease in humans, rather than on those that co-exist with us in the disease-free state. However, in the past decade research has shown that not only is the indigenous microbiota involved in protecting humans from exogenous pathogens but it is also involved in our development and nutrition. Consequently, interest has grown substantially among health professionals and scientists in analyzing and understanding these microbial (largely bacterial) communities. This comprehensive, yet accessible text provides an up-to-date guide to the development, composition and distribution of indigenous microbial communities of humans. With the aid of abundant colour figures, diagrams, tables and maps, it establishes links between the physicochemical factors prevailing at an anatomical site and the types of microbes to be found there. The book includes an introduction to the human-microbe symbiosis as well as an in-depth look at the main systems and organs of the human body that have an indigenous microbiota. Each chapter includes a list of references for further study. This is an excellent and informative reference book that is useful to anyone with an interest in microbiology, medical microbiology, microbial ecology, infectious diseases, immunology, human biology, medicine, dentistry, nursing, health sciences, biomedical sciences or pharmacy - it should be on the shelf of every major science and medical library. This title provides a comprehensive, yet accessible, reference book on the human microbiota. It is lavishly illustrated with colour figures, diagrams, tables and maps. Each chapter provides a list of references to promote further study. Each chapter contains links to key websites. It offers an ecological approach that explains why certain organisms are associated with a particular anatomical site.

Virulence Mechanisms Of Bacterial Pathogens

This is the second edition of a landmark book, originally published in 1988. The new edition has been extensively revised and updated to provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of how bacterial pathogens go about establishing infections, producing disease, and persisting in the host. Strategies for overcoming bacterial virulence mechanisms are also covered. This book will appeal strongly to molecular biologists wanting an understanding of how molecular mechanisms relate to disease, as well as infectious disease
