New Drugs Targeting Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: Recent Advances examines the molecular, pharmacological, and clinical dimensions of resistance development and highlights innovative therapeutic approaches aimed at overcoming multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), providing an in-depth exploration of emerging strategies to combat one of the most urgent public health challenges of our time-antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Beginning with the mechanisms underlying bacterial resistance such as β-lactamase production, efflux pump activity, and membrane protein modification, the text underscores the growing threat posed by ESKAPE pathogens and CDC-classified priority infections. Chapters also explore cutting-edge interventions including bacteriophage therapy, discovery of novel antibacterial compounds from natural sources, and the use of nanoparticles and quorum-sensing inhibitors to suppress bacterial virulence. Further sections discuss carbapenemase-mediated resistance, emphasizing enzyme classification, detection strategies, and the importance of clinical microbiology in guiding antibiotic stewardship. By integrating one-health perspectives that consider human, animal, and environmental dimensions, this book presents a holistic roadmap for addressing resistance evolution through innovation and responsible antibiotic use. Key Features:

-Examines the molecular mechanisms driving antibiotic resistance in key bacterial species. -Explores bacteriophage therapy as a promising alternative to conventional antimicrobials. -Discovers natural-source compounds and novel drug leads for future antibiotic development. -Analyses carbapenemase-mediated resistance and clinical detection techniques. -Evaluates new therapeutic approaches including nanoparticle-based treatments and quorum-sensing inhibition. -Promotes the one-health approach to tackling multidrug-resistant organisms globally.
