This book is a compilation of past and recent knowledge in the field of emerging drug
resistance. The book covers major aspects of drug resistance in bacteria fungi malaria and
cancer.Human survival on earth is constantly threatened by disease and syndrome. From the early
days the aim of research in medicine was to find therapeutic agents that can improve the
quality of human life. Although humans are dependent on natural compounds from early days their
dependence of drugs increased excessively in last century. The advances in chemistry and
biology have helped researchers to identify the drugs that have improved treatment of many
diseases. The primary factor for treatment of these diseases is dependent on the efficacy of
drugs available. The development of resistance to these drugs is one of the major hindrances.
Although there are number of books available on this topic drug resistance biology across
kingdoms has never been discussed in a coherent way.
