<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p></p><p>This book compiles the latest information in the field of antibacterial discovery, especially with regard to the looming threat of multi-drug resistance. The respective chapters highlight the discovery of new antibacterial and anti-infective compounds derived from microbes, plants, and other natural sources. The potential applications of nanotechnology to the fields of antibacterial discovery and drug delivery are also discussed, and one section of the book is dedicated to the use of computational tools and metagenomics in antibiotic drug discovery. Techniques for efficient drug delivery are also covered. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the progress made in both antibacterial discovery and delivery, making it a valuable resource for academic researchers, as well as those working in the pharmaceutical industry.</p><br><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Professor Iqbal Ahmad</b></p><p>Iqbal Ahmad is a Full Professor and former Chair of the Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India.
