Bacterial Resistance to Antimicrobials (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Wax, Richard G.; Taber, Harry; Salyers, Abigail A.; Lewis, Kim

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The enormous genetic flexibility of bacteria jeopardizes the usefulness of currently available antibiotics, and requires new approaches to antibiotic discovery and development. Antimicrobial resistance can be acquired in a short time frame, both by genetic mutation and by direct transfer of resistance genes across genus and species boundaries. Unde
