Preface
Considering the rapid emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens across the globe and the slow discovery of new antibiotics, there is a serious threat to the current availability of bacterial infection chemotherapy. Considerable efforts from academia and industry have been made to develop new and alternative ways to overcome this problem, but the problem remains very serious and warrants immediate attention. In addition to classical approaches, improved and new technologies, including nanomaterials, antipathogenic drugs, and the reemergence of natural products as potential new therapeutics leads, are encouraging developments. There have been several books published covering specific applications; however, this book aims to provide a holistic and comprehensive view of the subject starting with th
