Antimicrobial Agents: Antibacterials and Antifungals is a significant revision of an original French reference published by Ellipses in 1999.  Featuring more than 1,200 illustrations, over 1,500 tables, and more than 3,000 references, this major new volume comprehensively covers the history, chemistry, synthesis, mechanisms of action, pharmacology, and efficacy of all antimicrobial agents.

Written by experts, Antimicrobial Agents opens with foundational material covering the history of antibacterial chemotherapy, the system of classifying antimicrobial agents, the epidemiology of resistance, and the development of an antibiotic.  The body of the text is divided into antimicrobial classes, including new chapters that extensively cover Helicobacter pylori and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.  Also examined are antimicrobial agents that are in advanced states of development, products that are used on animals, agents that are as yet unexplored, and those for which development has ceased.  All existing chapters have been thoroughly updated to reflect advances in technology and research since the publication of the first edition.

Unmatched in depth and scope of coverage, the new edition of Antimicrobial Agents: Antibacterials and Antifungals is the reference source for physicians, microbiologists, chemists, pharmacologists, research scientists, and all others involved in antimicrobial research and development.
