Content
This book, which is the translated version of a Swedish book, combines a general introduction of a variety of antibiotics with a more in–depth discussion of resistance. The focus on resistance in learning about antibiotics will help future scientists recognize the problem antibiotics resistance poses for medicinal and drug–related fields, and perhaps trigger more research and discoveries to fight antibiotic resistant strains. Current overviews of the topic are included, along with specific discussions on the individual mechanisms (betalactams, glycopeptides, aminoglycosides, etc) used in various antibacterial agents and explanations of how resistances to those develop. Methods for counteracting resistance development in bacteria are discussed as well. Table of Contents 1. Antibiotics, the Greatest Triumph of Scientific Medicine. 2. Distribution of Antibiotics. 3. Sulfonamides and Trimethoprim. 4. Betalactams. 5. Glycopeptides. 6. Aminoglycosides. 7. Further Antibiotics Interfering with Bacterial Protein Synthesis. 8. Quinolones. 9. Antibacterial Agents that are not Related to the Large Antibiotic Families. 10. Mechanisms for the Horizontal Spread of Antibiotic Resistance Among Bacterial. 11. How to Handle Resistance Against Antibiotics?

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
