This book covers all tactics and strategies adopted by bacteria for their survival under stressed conditions and is focused on mechanistic insights of pathogenic adaptations to host environments (acidic environment, microaerobic conditions, immune system stress, metal stress etc., modulation of host pathways by pathogens for survival, dormancy, drug tolerance and resistance, proteins for stress survival). It also includes different adaptation mechanisms of extremophiles to extreme environment, provides a complete and globally available advance knowledge related to bacterial survival from different perspectives, and reviews the knowledge gaps and future prospects in the field of microbial adaptation for sustainable development in the field of infection biology and pharmaceutics.
