Opis

It is quite possible that you may have heard about the oncoming global crisis of the antibiotics. But you may not have the idea about the details of the process that has been playing cat and mouse with the current medical advancements. Fear not, this book features an interesting read on antibiotics and their corresponding resistance mechanism. It all started in the ancient period when the humans weren't even aware about disease causing organisms. Until they discovered microorganism and their role in infection causing diseases. Say it miracle or a discovery, they came to know about the antibiotics which served them well at keeping those infections at bay. But recently, evolution has enabled those pathogens to stay one step ahead of us and we are not able to cope up. We are losing antibiotic options every now and then. Read this book for a better understanding about the interplay between the antibiotics and pathogenic organisms associated with various common infections.
