“This handbook provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary examination of antimicrobial resistance, detailing molecular mechanisms, manifestations across microbial types, and the evolutionary and structural facets of resistance.”
Handbook of Antimicrobial Resistance, 1st Edition, 2017
Handbook of Antimicrobial Resistance, 1st Edition (2017) is an authoritative and expansive reference designed for researchers, clinicians, microbiologists, pharmacologists, and public health professionals confronting the global crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Edited by leading experts Matthias Götte, Albert Berghuis, Greg Matlashewski, Mark Wainberg, and Donald Sheppard, this volume synthesizes cutting-edge scientific knowledge on how microbes become resistant to antimicrobial drugs across bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal pathogens. The book explains the molecular mechanisms of resistance, biochemical and structural aspects of drug-microbe interactions, and evolutionary pathways that drive resistance, and discusses strategies for combating AMR in clinical and research settings. Its comprehensive coverage makes it an essential tool for understanding, teaching, and researching antimicrobial resistance in a rapidly evolving public health landscape.
