New Antimicrobials: For the Present and the Future (Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century)
By I.W. Fong
This is a timely and essential companion to the recently published Antimicrobial Resistance in the 21st Century, Second Edition. Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to global population health, with government reports projecting it could result in over 10 million deaths in the next 35 years. Development of new agents to combat this threat is one of the WHO’s top priorities, but in 2017, it conceded that the current drug development pipeline was insufficient to mitigate the threat. This book discusses recent progress and bolster new agent discovery and development, by providing researchers and students who will soon enter the field with a thorough guide to the advancements made in the last decade. Coverage includes new systemic antimicrobials approved since 2010, with detailed analysis of antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics, as well as agents in development for future use. Discussion of each drug will include its chemical nature, pharmacology/pharmacokinetics, antimicrobial spectrum, dosage, adverse reactions, drug interactions, microbial resistance, indications, clinical efficacy compared to older agents, and lists of similar agents with cost comparison. This volume is designed for researchers and students of infectious disease and medical microbiology, as well as clinicians in need of a comprehensive guide to newly developed agents.
In today’s world, antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global population health. It has the potential to cause over 10 million deaths in the next 35 years, according to government reports. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the urgency of this issue and has made it one of their top priorities. However, in 2017, they admitted that the current drug development pipeline is insufficient to mitigate this threat. This is where the book “Advances in Anti-Infective Drug Discovery and Development” comes in as a timely and essential companion.
