Content:
By integrating knowledge from pharmacology, microbiology, molecular medicine, and engineering, researchers from Europe, the U.S. and Asia cover a broad spectrum of current and potential antimicrobial medications and treatments. The result is a comprehensive survey ranging from small-molecule antibiotics to antimicrobial peptides and their engineered mimetics, from enzymes to nucleic acid therapeutics, from metallic nanoparticles to photo- and sonosensitizers and to phage therapy. In each case, the therapeutic approaches are compared in terms of their mechanisms, likelihood to induce resistance.
Note:
The problem of microbial drug resistance -- Conventional antibiotics -- revitalized by new agents -- Developing novel bacterial targets: carbonic anhydrases as antibacterial drug targets -- Magainins -- a model for development of eukaryotic antimicrobial peptides (amps) -- Antimicrobial peptides from prokaryotes -- Peptidomimetics as antimicrobial agents -- Synthetic biology and therapies for infectious diseases -- Nano-antimicrobials based on metals -- Natural products as antimicrobial agents -- an update -- Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy -- The antimicrobial effects of ultrasound -- Antimicrobial therapy based on antisense agents -- New delivery systems -- liposomes for pulmonary delivery of antibacterial drugs.
