Antibiotic Resistance: Mechanisms and New Antimicrobial Approaches discusses up-to-date
knowledge in mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and all recent advances in fighting microbial
resistance such as the applications of nanotechnology plant products bacteriophages marine
products algae insect-derived products and other alternative methods that can be applied to
fight bacterial infections. Understanding fundamental mechanisms of antibiotic resistance is a
key step in the discovery of effective methods to cope with resistance. This book also
discusses methods used to fight antibiotic-resistant infection based on a deep understanding of
the mechanisms involved in the development of the resistance.
