In today’s world, the threat of antimicrobial resistance looms large. As government reports project over 10 million deaths in the next 35 years due to this global health challenge, finding new ways to combat this issue has become a top priority for organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO). However, the current drug development pipeline has proven to be insufficient in tackling this growing threat. That is where the book “Advancements in Antimicrobial Agents: A Guide to New Agents in the Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance” comes in.

This timely and essential companion to the recently published “Antimicrobial Resistance in the 21st Century” offers researchers and students a comprehensive guide to the advancements made in the last decade. Authored by I.W. Fong, this book delves into the progress made in the development and discovery of new agents to combat antimicrobial resistance. It is a must-read for anyone interested in infectious disease, medical microbiology, or seeking a thorough understanding of the latest breakthroughs in the field.
