Metabolism of Bacterial Infection: Curated Literature Overview

by Vijay Soni (Editor), Aditya Upadhyay (Editor)

Overview

This machine-generated literature overview provides a comprehensive and up-to-date summary of research on the role of bacterial metabolism in the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. It examines various aspects of bacterial metabolism, including metabolic pathways, nutrient acquisition activities, metabolic adaptation, virulence factors, antibiotic resistance, omics approaches, metabolic engineering, and therapeutic approaches. It is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of microbiology, infectious disease, and biomedicine.

The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the external editor. The editor of this book selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that the auto-summaries consist of original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper, since we do not show the full length of the publication. Please note that only published SN content is represented here, and that machine-generated books are still at an experimental stage.
