Popis: |
The relationships between bacteria and their hosts are fundamental to our understanding of vital normal and pathogenic processes. They have attracted considerable interest recently with improved understanding of a variety of infectious diseases and normal developmental and adult processes at mucosal surfaces throughout the body (Tannock, 1999). An important part of the recognition process includes the glycobiology of the host mucosal cells and the bacteria themselves. Glycan structures and their manipulation are assuming increasing significance. This review serves to illustrate some of the current observations in this field. |
