註釋This book, inclusive of 22 chapters, describes novel approaches currently used for antimicrobial drug discovery, focusing on agents for use against bacterial and fungal pathogens. Specific chapters discuss: (1) concepts relevant to drug resistance; (2) microbial mechanisms related to efflux pumps and studies on their potential inhibitors; (3) impact of multidrug tolerance of biofilms and persister cells; (4) bacterial quorum-sensing inhibition; (5) inhibition of the bacterial filamentous temperature-sensitive mutant Z (FtsZ); (6) antibacterial properties of lysostaphin; (7) strategies to identify modified ribosomally synthesized antimicrobials; (8) quantitative structure-activity relationship studies of novel antimicrobial peptides; (9) bacterial acetyl-CoA carboxylase and lipopolysacharide as drug targets for antibiotic development; (10) pathosystematic systems biology for the rational design of novel antifungal compounds; (11) specific animal models for novel antimicrobial discovery; and (12) new antimicrobial technology platforms such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy and carbon nanotubes.
