Includes bibliographical references and index.

The genome sequences of several pseudomonads have become available in recent years and researchers are beginning to use the data to make new discoveries about this bacterium. This concise volume reviews the most current and topical aspects of Pseudomonas genomics and molecular biology and is aimed at a readership of research scientists, graduate students and other specialists. The authors have contributed chapters on diversd topics including taxonomy, genome diversity, oligonucleotide usage, polysaccharides, pathogenesis, virulence, biofilms, antibiotic resistance and iron uptake. In addition an entire chapter is devoted to the genetic tools being developmen to take full advantage of the wealth of information generated by the genome sequencing efforts.
