Marsh and Martin's Oral Microbiology - E-Book (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Now expanded with the latest information of relevance to current dental practice, Oral Microbiology retains its unique ecological approach to the subject which helps the reader determine whether an organism will have a pathogenic or commensal relationship at a given site.

In the new edition, greater emphasis is placed on the role of current molecular biology techniques in the understanding of oral microbes. The book also provides insight into current therapeutic and prophylactic antibiotic use, infection control, and the relationships between oral and general health.



Oral Microbiology provides comprehensive coverage of the subject which will be essential to readers with a specific interest in dentistry as well as those with a more general interest in host-microbe interactions and in microbial ecology. The book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate dental students, research workers, and a wide range of clinical dental professionals.

• Successfully describes the complex relationship between the resident oral microbiota and the host in health and disease
• Retains a unique ecological approach to the subject which provides a clear set of principles to explain whether the microbiota will have a beneficial or an adverse relationship with the host at a particular site
• Exploration of the biological and clinical significance of the oral microbiota in the form of a biofilm on dental and mucosal surfaces
• Completely updated throughout by a new author team!
• Self-assessment questions in each chapter allow readers to monitor their progress
• Updated design with 'Key Points' throughout aids learning
• Reflects the impact that the genomic era has had on the field
• Expanded sections on infection control as well as therapeutic and prophylactic antibiotic use
• New sections on the benefits of the resident oral microbiota and on current concepts of factors driving dysbiosis in periodontal disease
• New chapter on the emerging role of oral microorganisms in systemic diseases

Autorenporträt

Dr. Williams currently leads the Oral Microbiology Group based at the School of Dentistry, at Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK. Since Dr. Williams' first degree (Cardiff University), he has worked in the pharmaceutical industry, food microbiology and as an academic researcher. Having completed a PhD at the School of Dentistry in Cardiff on the immunopathogenesis of oral candidosis, Dr. Williams' research has continued within Cardiff University and primarily focuses within the field of Clinical Microbiology with an emphasis on studies involving microbial biofilms. Dr. Williams' research encompasses investigating biofilm susceptibility to antimicrobial agents, expression of virulence factors such as hydrolytic enzyme production, adhesion, and microbial modulation of innate immune responses. Of particular interest has been research into the development of biomaterials (e.g. silicone rubber, acrylic, titanium) to inhibit biofilm formation on medical devices. Dr. Williams is a previous recipient of the Senior Colgate Award (British Society for Oral and Dental Research) and the International Hatton Award (The International Association for Dental Research).
