Antibiotics

"a useful resource for anyone involved in that research as well as biotechnology companies and the pharmaceutical industry" from Book News (Dec 2014)

"The timing is absolutely perfect for the publication of this informative and inspirational collection of articles on antibiotics. One would expect no less from Arnold Demain, for long one of the world's leading microbiologists, ably assisted by Sergio Sanchez. The book is remarkably good value due to the breadth of the articles, which range from historical perspectives on antibiotics, through to perspectives on the current state of the art in antibiotic drug discovery, antimicrobial resistance and perspectives on the reasons for lack of new antibiotics in recent decades. The book is genuinely a brilliant resource ... Overall this is an absolutely excellent book on antibiotics - almost every chapter has something of interest for researchers in the field and provides an outstanding overview of very widespread interest. " fromChemMedChem (2015) 925-928.

"packed full of useful information ... information which is difficult to find elsewhere ... I found the book informative and easy to read, and the scope is huge with a lot of coverage given to the new sources of antibiotics ... I recommend this book as an essential reference for anyone interested in the field of antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic discovery" fromMicrobiology Today (2015) 42: 86.

"...an updated overview of the field ... insightful reading ..." from BIOspektrum (2015) 21: 356-357.

"This text book is a structured compilation of scholarly papers ... vast amounts of new and relevant information are provided ... The list of the 50 contributors is distinguished and with a compelling international representation ... chapters are thoroughly referenced ... Diagrams and tables are plentiful ... I thoroughly recommend this textbook to thoughtful microbiologists and medical scientists" from Aus. J. Med. Sci. (2015) 36: 89.
