Publisher's Synopsis
In "Assessing MRSA Activity of Phytochemicals and Microorganisms", P Hariharan explores the potential of natural compounds and microorganisms in combating Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a serious healthcare-associated infection that has become increasingly difficult to treat due to antibiotic resistance.
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of MRSA, including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and mechanisms of resistance. The author then delves into the potential of phytochemicals, which are natural compounds found in plants, and beneficial microorganisms, such as probiotics, to combat MRSA. The book discusses the mechanisms of action of these compounds and microorganisms, as well as their effectiveness in laboratory and clinical studies.
In addition, the book covers the potential use of combination therapies, including the use of phytochemicals and microorganisms together, as a way to increase effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance. Finally, the book provides an overview of the challenges and future directions of research in this area.
Overall, "Assessing MRSA Activity of Phytochemicals and Microorganisms" is a valuable resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in the potential of natural compounds and microorganisms in combating MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant infections.
