 | Antimicrobials in Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Research Subjects: Environment & Agriculture; Bioscience; Food Science & Technology; Physical Sciences; Microbiology; Agriculture & Environmental Sciences; Botany; Food Chemistry; Chemistry; Agriculture; Plant Biotechnology; Food Microbiology; Medicinal & Pharmaceutical Chemistry; The need for state-of-the-art antimicrobial agents is greater than forever 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, development of such agents faces significant obstacles. Pharmaceutical research and development costs, which 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, it 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. In this book, the novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are 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 Current Trends in Antimicrobial Research: Antimicrobial 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 Covers development in plant-based antimicrobials for sepsis management and progress Describes modern approaches for phyto-nanoconjugates in combating multidrug resistance in biomedicine Details methods to improve antimicrobial properties to have a longer service life in combating infection Describe bacteriocins and plant metabolites as biotechnological tools in food, pharmaceuticals and therapeutics applications Highlights natural antimicrobial therapeutic peptides Offers current and future applications of emerging antimicrobial technologiesDr Arti Gupta.
