Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and their Components, Second Edition offers pharmaceutical and life sciences researchers an overview on the most relevant studies for fighting specific multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoans, viruses, and fungi using natural products. This new edition expands the coverage of uses of traditional medicinal plants to against MDR, includes new chapters on the potential of plant-derived bioactive compounds for reversal of multidrug resistances, covers the use of flavonoids to combat microbes and cancer, and the use of nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicle.
The need to combat multidrug-resistant microorganisms is an urgent one. This book provides important coverage of mechanism of action, the advantages and disadvantages of using herbal extracts, essential oils and their components, and more, to aid researchers in effective antimicrobial drug discovery.
