The proposed book aims to understand the mechanism of survival of
microorganisms in response to chemical stress in various ecological
niches that suffer direct human intervention, more so the
agricultural, domestic and hospital settings. Microbicides (e.g.
disinfectants, antiseptics, fungicides, algaecides, insecticides
and pesticides) are used rampantly to control undesirable microbes.
Insecticides and pesticides are routinely used in agriculture which
directly affect the microbial population in farms, orchards and
fields. Health care environments are always stressed with
disinfectants and antibiotics. It is always probable that
microbicide-stressed microorganisms are in a dynamic state,
displaced from one niche to the other. Some soil and water borne
bacteria or their resistance determinants are also getting
prominence in hospital settings after suffering selective pressure
from agricides. In order to reveal the survival strategies of
microbicidal-resistant microbes, it is of prime importance to know
the mode of action of these complete range of microbicides
(agricides to antibiotics). The present book intends to address
these issues. There will be several chapters dealing with tolerance
and cross resistance in microbes and bacteria in particular,
dwelling in various niches. Till date, there is no consensus among
scientists in theorizing molecular mechanisms to explain bacterial
tolerance and their cross resistance to agricides and antibiotics.
