Preface The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant microbes challenges modern medicine, posing serious threats to human and animal health. Therefore, we desperately need new antibiotics with novel mechanisms of action and resistance-breaking properties. This edition of Antibiotic Research Protocols in the Springer series Methods in Molecular Biology aims to provide state-of-the-art and novel methods on antibiotic isolation and purification, identification of antimicrobial killing mechanisms, and methods for the analysis and detection of microbial adaptation strategies. Accordingly, the chapters are organized under three major themes: Production and Design, Mode of Action, and Response and Susceptibility. In the first part on antibiotic production and design, contributions report on strategies to find new antibacterial compounds by mini
