      abstract = {Since penicillin and salvarsan were discovered, a number  of new drugs to combat infectious diseases have been  developed, but at the same time, the number of  multi-resistant microorganism strains is increasing. Thus,  the design of new and effective antibacterial, antiviral  and antifungal agents will be a major challenge in the next  years. This book reviews the current state-of-the-art in  antimicrobial research and discusses new strategies for the  design and discovery of novel therapies. Topics covered  include the use of genetic engineering, genome mining,  manipulation of gene clusters, X-ray and neutron scattering  as well as the antimicrobial effects of essential oils,  antimicrobial agents of plant origin, beta-lactam  antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, and  cell-wall-affecting antifungal antibiotics.},
