Enzyme-mediated resistance to antibiotics : mechanisms, dissemination, and prospects for inhibition /
Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, or "superbugs," present an increasingly deadly threat to human health. With chapters from the world's leading researchers and scholars in this field, this comprehensive volume is a vital and timely overview of this critical subject.
