Antimicrobial Therapeutics and Drug Discovery is a comprehensive resource that provides an overview of antimicrobial drug discovery. It covers a wide spectrum of pathogenic organisms causing human infections, exploring alternative therapeutic strategies beyond traditional small molecule drugs. The contents in the book are structured into four parts, each focusing on a different aspect of antimicrobial drug discovery. From exploring viral and host targets, understanding antibiotic resistance mechanisms, to the potential of nanomedicine and computational approaches, the book offers a comprehensive view of the field. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, chapters discuss the importance of drug discovery for fungi, Mycobacteria, Mycoplasma, and parasites, and offers insights into innovative biomedical approaches and combination therapies. By bridging the gap between experimental research and practical application, Antimicrobial Therapeutics and Drug Discovery is a key reference for pharmacologists and pharmaceutical scientists working in academic and corporate research. Medicinal chemists and microbiologists will also benefit from the multidisciplinary coverage of the book. - Provides a comprehensive overview of antimicrobial drug discovery- Discusses ethical imperatives in combating antimicrobial resistance- Offers insights into drug discovery for overlooked pathogens- Explores alternative therapeutic strategies for combating antibiotic resistance- Bridges the gap between experimental research and practical application
