Antimicrobials: Synthetic and Natural Compounds summarizes the
latest research regarding the possibilities of 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 natural products as a source of bioactive compounds
that may be active against multidrug-resistant pathogens, providing
an alternative to established antibiotics in controlling infectious
diseases. Covering a wide range of marine, microbial, and
plant-origin antimicrobials, the book examines the usefulness of
plant products containing antimicrobial molecules against bacteria,
fungi, protozoa, and viruses. It also reports on unusual sources of
antimicrobials such as animal fecal actinomycetes, actinobacteria,
and cyanobacteria and discusses synthetic chemical compounds and
biogenic nanoparticles. The number of drug-resistant bacteria is
increasing, posing a major problem to modern medicine. This book
explores an important topic: finding and applying alternative means
of pathogenic control and treatment via natural sources. It is an
important source of information for microbiologists,
biotechnologists, biochemists, pharmacologists, botanists, marine
biologists, and others involved in research on natural and
synthetic antimicrobial compounds. It is also a useful resource for
scholars, scientists, academics, and students in various science
disciplines.
