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.

Features of the book:

This book offers comprehensive coverage of all manifestations of resistance in combating infectious diseases and explores advances in antimicrobials in agriculture and their applications in the fight against microbes. According to the World Health Organization, antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to global health because the number of alternative antibiotics is very limited. Antimicrobial resistance is a slow, evolutionary process that has been accelerated by human activities in the health, environment, and agriculture sectors. Due to their wide application, antibiotics and their residues have been found in almost all food products and natural ecosystems. This book appraises the drivers, impact, and mitigation of antimicrobials, with a focus on methods and targets. 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.

Features of the book:

Using antibiotics to promote growth, increase feed efficiency, and reduce mortality in indoor poultry farming is unsustainable and has been implicated in increased antibiotic resistance in humans. The use of antibiotics in food-producing animals is recognized as favoring the development of antibiotic resistance, and the ongoing emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a public health issue of increasing concern. The concern is that current life-saving antibiotics are becoming less effective. The requirement is for more toxic and costly antibiotics, reducing the available alternatives. Antibiotic use is significant in the emerging public health crisis of antibiotic resistance. Although most antibiotic use occurs in agricultural settings, relatively little attention has been paid to how antibiotic use in farm animals contributes to the overall problem of antibiotic resistance. The global spread of antimicrobial-resistant pathogenic bacteria is a continuing challenge to the healthcare of humans and domesticated animals.

This book discusses antimicrobial resistance mechanisms relevant to food-producing animals. Students, researchers, scientists, environmentalists, veterinary practitioners, academicians, stakeholders, and policymakers can benefit from using Antimicrobials in Animal Husbandry as a resource that addresses microbial biotechnology, microbiology, toxicology, and all disciplines related to antimicrobial research.

Maintaining homeostasis is essential for optimal health and wellbeing. When the body’s systems fall out of balance, a cascade of complications can arise. That’s why it’s vital to explore the tools and techniques that help us monitor and restore equilibrium.

Glycomic analysis—the comprehensive study of glycans, the complex sugars that decorate proteins and lipids—provides a powerful window into these balancing processes. In many cases, profiling glycans directly offers deep insights; when compartment-specific information is needed, subcellular fractionation can be employed to pinpoint their origin. Together, these approaches illuminate how our bodies preserve stability at every level.

The implications of this research are profound. By uncovering the mechanisms that sustain homeostasis, we pave the way for preventative measures, targeted therapies, and overall improvements in quality of life. This book brings together the latest advances in functional glycomics and homeostatic regulation into a single volume.
