Antimicrobial drug resistance handbook v. 1 Mechanisms of drug resistance
Mayers, D.
The volumes included in Antimicrobial Drug Resistance Handbook represent the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary reference covering the area of antimicrobial drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites from basic science, clinical, and epidemiological perspectives. This first volume, Antimicrobial Drug Resistance Handbook, Mechanisms of Drug Resistance, is dedicated tothe biological basis of drug resistance and effective avenues for drug development. With the emergence of more drug-resistant strains, the approach to dealing with the drug resistance problem must include the research of different aspects of the mechanisms of bacterial resistance and the dissemination of resistance genes as well as research utilizing new genomic information. These approaches will permit the design of novel strategies to develop new antibiotics and preserve the effectiveness of currently available ones.
