Vedi i dettagli del titolo
A comprehensive overview of the history, biological mechanisms, and global distribution of antibacterial drugs. The text traces the development of medicine from the first selective agents like sulfonamides and penicillin to modern treatments, highlighting how these "magic bullets" revolutionized healthcare. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the molecular evolution of resistance, explaining how bacteria adapt through genetic mutations and horizontal gene transfer. Sköld emphasizes that the overuse of antibiotics in humans and livestock has created a "toxic shock" to the microbial world, driving a rapid Darwinian response. The source further examines specific drug classes, such as betalactams and aminoglycosides, detailing their unique points of attack and the corresponding defense mechanisms bacteria employ. Ultimately, the book serves as a warning that the health standards society takes for granted are being eroded by increasingly resistant pathogens.
