Written by specialists in the different fields, this book
presents new perspectives and insights into strategies and
weapons to fight microbial infections. It also reviews the “state
of the art” of alternative treatment approaches and new
therapeutic agents to deal with infections caused by
multidrug-resistant microorganisms. In an era of accumulated
resistance to current antibiotics, it is vital that this is
undertaken without further delay. Aspects discussed include the
control of RNA synthesis, the use of bacteriocins or enzybiotics
(bacteriophages or purified lysins), the specific control of
pathogenic clostridia, the design of new drugs affecting DNA
synthesis in bacteria, the use of fecal-matter transplant
strategies, the specific control of quorum sensing responses in
bacteria, the use of new peptides as antibiotics and new ways to
control bacteria that cause cancer, such as
