Antimicrobial Resistance and Virulence Common Mechanisms
Multiple relationships exist between antimicrobial resistance and bacterial virulence, and the spread of clones combining multiple antibiotic resistance and a high virulence level is an increasing problem. It was previously described how mutation-driven or horizontally acquired resistance mechanisms can also have effects on virulence. It was also reported that mobile genetic elements often carry both resistance determinants and virulence-modulating genes, which favors the co-selection of both traits. In the present volume, we present a collection of articles which document additional aspects of the interactions between antimicrobial resistance and virulence in bacteria, and describe their potential therapeutic consequences.

Molecular Mechanisms of Fever
This is the proceedings of a New York Academy of Sciences conference, November 2-4, 1997. The text covers a multi-disciplinary discussion of the biological basis of fever and related host responses from the molecular to the clinical level. It explores the development of drugs that modulate fever without inducing unpleasant or harmful side effects. It also explains why basic paradigms and techniques used to understand the role of cytokine and hormone regulation of body temperature are relevant to solving other physiological processes such as the regulation of sleep and food intake and the modulation of pain.
Evaluation of Herbal Medicinal Products
"This book presents a structural approach to the evaluation of herbal medicinal products for quality, safety and efficacy. There has been an enormous growth in the market for herbal medicinal products in the last twenty five years. However the rediscovery of natural substances with therapeutic potential has raised questions of quality, safety and efficacy on the part of the consumer and also from health professionals. This book brings together current thinking and practice in these areas highlighting current research. In the light of increasing legislation to enforce better standards for these products and the demand by legislators and the public for assurance of safe and effective use, this book seeks to provide a state-of-the-art review, which informs and guides those who seek to promote their use. This book also gives an overview of the place of ethno pharmacology in the development of herbal medicinal products and discusses good agricultural and collection practices, marker analysis and stability testing which contribute to assessment of good quality of these materials." -- Publisher description.
Environmental Change and Human Health
The object of this symposium was to discuss those aspects of environmental change which might have direct or indirect effects on human health. Issues examined included water pollution, agriculture, nutrition and population growth, genetic disease and exotic tropical diseases.
New Strategies Combating Bacterial Infection
Combating bacterial infections calls for a multidisciplinary approach and this is what is on offer here. Written by an experienced international team of researchers from various fields ranging from biotechnology to traditional medicine, the book provides complete and comprehensive coverage of topics relevant to new antibacterial drugs. This ready reference and handbook adopts a novel approach, focusing on combating multi-drug resistance in bacteria by developing antibacterials with new target sites, using new advances in drug discovery as well as natural products. Divided into three sections, the first describes the problem of drug resistance and the need for new drugs, while the second trea...
