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. 000723062 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 21, 2013). 000723062 650_0 $$aAnti-infective agents. 000723062 7001_ $$aVilla, Tomás G.,$$eeditor. 000723062 7001_ $$aVeiga-Crespo, Patricia,$$eeditor. 000723062 852__ $$bebk 000723062 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-642-40444-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000723062 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:723062$$pGLOBAL_SET 000723062 980__ $$aEBOOK 000723062 980__ $$aBIB 000723062 982__ $$aEbook 000723062 983__ $$aOnline 000723062 994__ $$a92$$bISE
