African Flora to Fight Bacterial Resistance, Part I: Standards for the Activity of Plant-Derived Products

African Flora to Fight Bacterial Resistance, Part I: Standards for the Activity of Plant-Derived Products offers a glimpse into the potential of African medicinal plants to fight bacterial infections with an emphasis on bacterial drug resistance. Based on the collected data, the book also offers a rationale classification basis for the antibacterial activity of plant-based products. The general knowledge of state-of-the-art of drug resistance is globally described. This book clearly identifies the best African medicinal plants that could be useful for the development of efficient herbal drugs, as well as the best phytochemicals that could be explored as potential pharmaceuticals to efficiently tackle bacterial drug resistance. The book appears a unique tool for Scientists for drug discovery from the rich flora of Africa. This book is the first of its type to focus on the potential of African plants as alternative medicine against bacterial drug resistance This book also analyses the recorded data to propose a well-elaborated basis for the classification of antibacterial agents from plants This book clearly identifies and discusses plants and phytochemicals that could be useful in the development of new antibacterial drugs to combat drug resistance INDICE: PrefaceVictor Kuete1.
