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. 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aMedical microbiology 606 $aMicrobial genetics 606 $aMicrobial genomics 606 $aPharmaceutical technology 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aMedical Microbiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B16003 606 $aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L32010 606 $aPharmaceutical Sciences/Technology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21010 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aMedical microbiology. 615 0$aMicrobial genetics. 615 0$aMicrobial genomics. 615 0$aPharmaceutical technology. 615 14$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aMedical Microbiology. 615 24$aMicrobial Genetics and Genomics. 615 24$aPharmaceutical Sciences/Technology. 676 $a616.90461 702 $aVilla$b Tomás G$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVeiga-Crespo$b Patricia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298324903321 996 $aAntimicrobial Compounds$92500527 997 $aUNINA
