Beschreibung
Multidrug resistance is a very serious problem for modern medicine. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of research in the field. Topics include multidrug efflux in gram negative and gram positive bacteria, yeast, and parasitic protozoa and authors emphasise the importance of recent devlopments in molecular biology and genomics. Written by leading international experts the book is required reading for all scientists and medics interested in the problem of multiple drug resistance.
