Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and Their Components Summary

Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and Their Components by Mahendra Rai (Visiting Scientist, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun, Poland)

Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and their Components offers scientists a single source aimed at fighting specific multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoans, viruses and fungi using natural products. This essential reference discusses herbal extracts and essential oils used or under investigation to treat MDR infections, as well as those containing antimicrobial activity that could be of potential interest in future studies against MDR microorganisms. The need to combat multidrug-resistant microorganisms is an urgent one and this book provides important coverage of mechanism of action, the advantages and disadvantages of using herbal extracts, essential oils and their components and more to aid researchers in effective antimicrobial drug discovery

Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and Their Components Reviews

The book is well organized and its 17 chapters cover a host of topics, from basic mechanisms of multidrug resistance to specific plant genera...and select phytochemicals that offer promise...For researchers interested in the current status of phytochemicals for treating multidrug-resistant microorganisms, this book is an invaluable resource. --HerbalGram, Spring 2014
