Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Phage therapy refers to the therapeutic usage of bacteriophages to treat and manage pathogenic bacterial infections. Bacteriophages are a type of virus, which attaches to the bacterial cells and injects their genome in the cells. The viral genome replaces the bacterial genome and stops the bacterial infection from spreading. The bacterial cell responsible for causing the infection is not able to reproduce and new phages are generated as a result. Phages are selective towards those bacterial strains against which they are effective. They are commonly bacterium-specific, which makes it important to get a swab and culture it before initiating a treatment. Phages can also be applied topically or orally on the infected wounds, can be spread on the surface or can be utilized while surgical procedures are underway. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of phage therapy. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The emergence of bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics has become a serious threat to public health and is considered one of the greatest challenges for contemporary medicine. Phage therapy - the use of bacteriophages as anti-bacterial agents - may offer an alternative treatment for bacterial infections. Phages have many potential applications in human medicine, as well as in dentistry, veterinary science, agriculture, and food protection. Written by internationally recognized experts from leading centers involved in phage research and phage therapy, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the topic with a focus on current research and emerging applications. The book opens with chapters covering the general characteristics of bacteriophages and the basic concepts of phage therapy. Further topics include: the pharmacology of phage therapy \* bacterial resistance \* non-bactericidal effects of phages \* main applications of bacteriophages in clinical medicine \* plant pathosystems \* animal production \* food protection \* biofilm control \* regulatory and intellectual property aspects of phage therapy. Although the book focuses on applications of virulent bacteriophages, it also discusses genetically-engineered phages, phages as delivery vehicles for other antimicrobials, as well as phage lysins. It will be an essential reference for anyone interested in phage therapy, antibacterial resistance, antimicrobial development, bacteriophage research, biocontrol, and biodetection.
