Microbial diseases have increasingly claimed a significant number of lives, as the number of deaths from infectious diseases has progressed to a concerning stage. This is primarily a result of an increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). With the advent of systems biology, our understanding of the role of metabolic regulators and metabolism during infection has advanced significantly. However, comprehensive and accessible literature on this subject has been long overdue. “Pathometabolism of Bacteria: Linking Infection and Metabolism” aims to compile the development, research, and applications of various aspects of metabolism (both host and pathogen) and their relationships to bring a broader picture. By bridging the gap between metabolic processes and how they contribute to infection, virulence, and survival, this book will cover various aspects of bacterial metabolism, including metabolic pathways, nutrient acquisition strategies, metabolic adaptation, virulence factors, antibiotic resistance, omics methodologies, metabolic engineering, and therapeutic approaches. It also provides a deep understanding of regulatory pathways and environmental factors influencing both host...
