Sommario/riassunto

Since the antibiotic inefficiency crisis leads to clinical and economical disabilities, one of the major challenges of scientists is to develop novel methods to handle infections. This book offers a perspective on alternate antimicrobial approaches based on naturally-derived products in order to modulate the virulence of pathogens and more
