Antibiotic Resistance and Nanotherapy is a comprehensive guide that takes an interdisciplinary approach to address the pressing issue of antibiotic resistance and explores possibility of nanotherapy as a cutting-edge strategy to treat illnesses that are resistant to antibiotics, employing nanoparticles to target and kill bacteria selectively without damaging healthy cells. It details the underlying mechanisms of drug resistance in intracellular and extracellular pathogens and explores the latest advancements in nanotechnology, including the development of innovative nanomaterials and delivery systems that can be utilized to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. The book also tackles the ethical and practical challenges associated with implementing nanotherapy for bacterial resistance. Featuring contributions from experts in the field, Antibiotic Resistance and Nanotherapy is an essential resource for researchers, medical professionals, and policymakers seeking to understand and tackle the immediate threat posed by antibiotic resistance
