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

Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and their Components, Second Edition offers pharmaceutical and life sciences researchers an overview of the most relevant studies on fighting specific multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoans, viruses and fungi using natural products. This new edition expands the coverage of uses of traditional medicinal plants to against MDR, includes new chapters on the potential of plant-derived bioactive compounds for reversal of multidrug resistances, the use of flavonoids to combat microbes and cancer, and the use of nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicle. The need to combat multidrug-resistant microorganisms is an urgent one and Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and their Components, 2nd Edition 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. This revision includes four new chapters and special focus on plant-based nanoparticlesProvides readers with current evidence-based content aimed at using herbal extracts and essential oils in antimicrobial drug developmentIncludes chapters devoted to the activity of herbal products against herpes, AIDS, tuberculosis, drug-resistant cancer cells and moreAddresses the need to develop safe and effective approaches to coping with resistance to all classes of antimicrobial drugs INDICE: Part I: General1.
