The resistance topic is timely given current events. The emergence
of mysterious new diseases, such as SARS, and the looming threat of
bioterrorist attacks remind us of how vulnerable we can be to
infectious agents. With advances in medical technologies, we have
tamed many former microbial foes, yet with few new antimicrobial
agents and vaccines in the pipeline, and rapidly increasing drug
resistance among infectious microbes, we teeter on the brink of
loosing the upperhand in our ongoing struggle against these foes,
old and new. The Resistance Phenomenon in Microbes and Infectious
Disease Vectors examines our understanding of the relationships
among microbes, disease vectors, and human hosts, and explores
possible new strategies for meeting the challenge of resistance.
