Karius og Baktus

»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 mechanics

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

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.

Bergey's man Determinative Bacteriology

The aim of this manual is to provide the user with the best means of identifying bacteria. It is based mainly on the four-volume "Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology". Many species or genera have been reclassified, resulting in new names or combinations. Where there is disagreement with some proposed classification, a brief mention of it is provided for the sake of synonymy. The book aims to allow the reader to identify an unknown organism to the level of genus and, if possible or practical, to the level of species.

Methods for General and Molecular Bacteriology

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

Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology

This work includes a revised taxonomic outline for the phyla Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes, Chlamydiae, Spirochetes, Fibrobacteres, Fusobacteria, Acidobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Dictyoglomi, and Gemmatimonadetes based upon the SILVA project as well as a description of more than 153 genera in 29 families. It also includes many medically important taxa.

Bergey's Manual of Systematic bac. v. 2A

Includes a description of the Alpha-, Beta-, Delta-, and Epsilonproteabacteria (1256 pages, 512 figures, and 371 tables). This large taxa include many well known medically and environmentally important groups. Especially notable are Acetobacter, Agrobacterium, Aquospirillum, Brucella, Burkholderia, Caulobacter, Desulfovibrio, Gluconobacter, Hyphomicrobium, Leptothrix, Myxococcus, Neisseria, Paracoccus, Propionibacter, Rhizobium, Rickettsia, Sphingomonas, Thiobacillus, Xanthobacter and 268 additional genera.

Bacteriology of Humans

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. Hallmark Features: * Provides a comprehensive, yet accessible, reference book on the human microbiota * 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 * Offers an ecological approach that explains why certain organisms are associated with a particular anatomical site
