Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) About the Editors Prof. Mark Lyte, Ph.D., M.S., MT(ASCP) is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacy Practice, School of Pharmacy and adjunct Professor in the Departments of Internal Medicine and Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine of Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Professor Lyte obtained his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. His undergradu- ate degree in the clinical laboratory sciences and work as a board-certified medical technologist in the hospital setting have influenced his translational approach throughout his career. Early work investigating the ability of stress to modulate immunity during infection led Professor Lyte to examine the role of bacterial rec- ognition of stress-related neuroendocrine hormones in the infective process. This research ultimately led him in 1992 to establish the field of microbial endocrinol- ogy. In addition to having served on scientific review panels for the National Institutes of Health and other worldwide agencies, Professor Lyte has been awarded the Joseph Susman Memorial Award for Surgical Infectious Disease Research by the Surgical Infection Society and was named a finalist for the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award. Dr. Primrose Freestone, B.Sc. (Hons), Ph.D., PGCE is a Lecturer in Clinical Microbiology, in the Department of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, School of Medicine, University of Leicester. She has been a close collaborator of Professor Mark Lyte for over 10 years and is a foundation contributor in the field of microbial endocrinology. A microbial biochemist by training, Dr Freestone was the first to identify tyrosine phosphorylation as a regulatory mechanism in bacteria, and to elucidate the mechanisms by which stress hormones induce bacterial growth. She is also a highly active inventor in the fields of microbial diagnostics and dietary bioactives and has been holder of several prestigious Fellowships to develop entre- preneurial activities in the area of life science biotechnology. v ML would like to dedicate the book to his wife Phyllis who has supported him through this journey since the first day and to his two sons, Joshua and Jeremy, for their dedication to acquiring knowledge. PF would like to dedicate her part of the book to her family. In particular, her aunt Betty, cousin Wendy, and above all, her mother, Rosie, to whom she owes a great debt of gratitude for her love, support and her tasty and no prompting supply of snacks when working late! Preface Microbial endocrinology represents a newly emerging interdisciplinary field that is formed by the intersection of the fields of neurobiology and microbiology. It is the intent of this book to introduce a new perspective to the current understanding not only of the factors that mediate the ability of microbes to cause disease, but also of the mechanisms that maintain normal homeostasis. The discovery that microbes can both synthesize and directly respond to neuroendocrine hormones provides for a new framework with which to investigate how microorganisms interface not only with vertebrates, but also with invertebrates and even plants. As illustrated by the breadth of expertise of the contributors, the reader will learn that the neuroendo- crine hormones that one most commonly associates with mammals, are actually found throughout the plant, insect and microbial communities to an extent that will undoubtedly surprise many, and most importantly, highlight how interactions between microbes and neuroendocrine hormones can influence the pathophysiol- ogy of infectious disease. This book will lead its readers through a journey to the rather startling realization that through eons of residence within our bodies, bacteria have evolved what appear to be specific detection systems for our neuroendocrine hormones, and that they not only seem to be able to “sense” when we are stressed, but also to utilize and effectively co-op products of our neurophysiological response to stress for their own usage. It was in 1992 that one of us (ML) gave the first talk on the subject of neuroen- docrine–bacterial interactions at that year’s annual meeting of the American Society for Microbiology General Meeting in New Orleans to an audience of only two people (and one was ML’s technician). That over the succeeding years the concept of micro- bial endocrinology met with much skepticism is an understatement. However, it was 25 years later from that first talk, in 2007, that both of us were pleased to act as orga- nizers of the first American Society of Microbiology microbial endocrinology sym- posium that was held during the 2007 annual society meeting in Toronto. Thankfully, the wheel of scientific skepticism has now come full circle, and we are very pleased to be able to present the very first book on microbial endocrinology.
