The book is particularly useful for scientists and researchers in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as those involved in microbial and biomedical research. Graduate and advanced students in microbiology, medical biotechnology, health, and pharmaceutical sciences will also find this book to be a valuable resource.

The Importance of Lantibiotics and Alternative Therapeutics

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant global health issue, and the era of easily treatable infections is coming to an end. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria evolve and develop mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotics, rendering these drugs ineffective. As a result, infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria become harder to treat, leading to increased mortality rates and healthcare costs.

In this context, the need for alternative therapeutics that can effectively combat drug-resistant infections is paramount. Lantibiotics have emerged as one such potential solution. Lantibiotics are a class of antimicrobial peptides produced by various microorganisms. They are known for their unique structure and mechanism of action, which set them apart from conventional antibiotics. Lantibiotics have the ability to disrupt the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, effectively killing the bacteria. This mode of action makes them less prone to resistance development and provides a promising avenue for developing new therapeutics.

Exploring Lantibiotics and Antimicrobial Peptides

Lantibiotics as Alternative Therapeutics examines the characteristics and potential applications of lantibiotics and antimicrobial peptides. The book covers a wide range of topics, including:

• – The mode of action of lantibiotics and antimicrobial peptides
