Hardcover. Num Pages: 448 pages. BIC Classification: MMG; PSD; PSG. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 178. .
Antibiotics: Challenges, Mechanisms, Opportunities details the contemporary challenges for discovery, optimization, and advancement of new antibiotics. It focuses on discovery not preclinical or clinical development. Given that the few classes of clinically significant antibiotics are all small molecules, this book focuses on the molecular structures and characteristics of both natural and synthetic antibacterial agents. Antibiotics is a valuable reference for microbiologists, bacterial physiologists, geneticists, pharmacologists, and drug developers. A chemocentric view of the molecular structures of antibiotics, their origins, actions, and major categories of resistance Antibiotics: Challenges, Mechanisms, Opportunities focuses ... Read more

Reviews for Antibiotics: Challenges, Mechanisms, Opportunities
This book provides all the information needed to understand antibiotic genetics, biochemistry, mechanism of action and resistance. Most importantly, Walsh & Wencewicz are optimistic of the prospects of the discovery of novel therapeutic agents obtained by the manipulation of strains and biosynthetic pathways. This beautifully written book deserves to be read and implemented by everyone, especially the pessimists who believe ... Read more
