Antimicrobials in Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Research
About this book
The need for state-of-the-art antimicrobial agents is greater than ever because of the development of multidrug resistance in communal pathogens, the rapid rise of new infections, and the potential for use of multidrug-resistant agents in biological protection. Although the need for novel antimicrobials is increasing, the development of such agents faces significant obstacles. Pharmaceutical research and development costs are estimated to be $400–$800 million per approved agent. The most important natural antimicrobial compounds derived from various plant sources containing a wide variety of secondary metabolites. With collected contributions from international subject experts, this volume focuses primarily on antimicrobials.
This book deliberates recent developments in microbial science in combating infectious diseases and explores advances in antimicrobial constituents and their applications in the fight against bacteria. In addition, it also provides a variety of photographs, diagrams, and tables to help illustrate the material. The novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are also described, emphasizing collaborative measures of control. We describe the concerted efforts undertaken by global communities to combat antimicrobial resistance in detail. The most efficient strategy could be a behavioural change towards indiscriminate consumption, usage, and prescription of antibiotics.
Students, research scientists, academicians and policy makers can benefit from Antimicrobials in Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Research as a resource that addresses biotechnology, applied microbiology, healthcare/pharmaceutical products, medicinal plant products, and all disciplines related to antimicrobial research.
