This book serves as an excellent comprehensive material covering the current understandings and updates on Antimicrobial resistance and the use of medicinal plants. Chapters cover all important issues related with AMR and addressing it with medicinal plant resources, overview of the current AMR problem, medicinal plant extracts, essential oils, and pure molecules as effective agents against drug-resistant strains, well as use of them as functionalizing agents for nano-antimicrobials. Chapter also cover both, bactericidal potencies as well as resistance-reversal (or potentiating/combinatorial therapies). The book focuses on natural products including medicinal plants and potent phyto-molecules effective against the major determinants of AMR such as drug efflux, enzyme degradation, target modification, and biofilm formation. Use of approaches in understanding and targeting AMR mechanisms in drug resistant pathogens with phyto-therapeutics. Examples of the many latest use of plant tissue culture, genetic engineering/ genome engineering for sustainable production of specialized phyto-antimicrobials are also discussed in detail throughout the book. The book will be a valuable update and resource for both experienced and younger researchers working in the field of antimicrobial resistance as well as related fields in biomedicine, pharmacy, and clinical research.weiterlesen
