This second installment of Antimicrobial Therapeutics
Reviews presents scholarly reviews on several key areas in the
field of antimicrobial therapeutics, including several papers on
issues relating to antibiotics that target the ribosome.
Topics covered include plasmid-encoded resistance determinants for
agents that bind the ribosome, new compound classes targeting the
ribosome, sequence-specific action of antibiotics binding the
ribosome, smFRET approaches to determine MOA of antibiotics binding
to the ribosome, new approaches for treating Staphylococcus biofilm
infections, and the history of tetracyclins. The volume also
features reviews dealing with drug development, such as
pleuromutilin discovery and development challenges and an update on
newer oxazolidinones such as torezolid and radezolid, and a review
on regulatory hurdles for new antibiotics.
