Dr. Abhijit DeyDepartment of Life Sciences, Presidency University, Kolkata, West Bengal 700073, India
Dr. Abhijit Dey is working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Life Sciences, Presidency University, Kolkata, India. He is actively working in the fields of therapeutic application of plant natural products and ethnopharmacology for last 18 years. His research areas involve broad areas and branches like Chemistry, Phytochemistry, Plant Science, Plant secondary metabolomics, Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Mathematical Modelling, Process optimization, Ecology and Biodiversity, Stress Physiology, Network Pharmacology etc. He has published in various high-impact journals and serves as a reviewer and board member for numerous esteemed journals. He has more than 75 research/review articles to his credit.
This book serves as an excellent comprehensive material covering the current understandings and updates on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the use of medicinal plant resources for tackling it. Chapters cover important aspects of AMR and strategies to address this threatening issue with medicinal plants and their resources. One health perspectives for addressing AMR have been presented for the readers. Antimicrobial medicinal plant therapeutic resources including crude extracts, active fractions, pure molecules and essential oils, besides using them as functionalizing agents for nano-antimicrobials have been covered. Further, plant endophytes as a source of antimicrobial compounds have been discussed. Chapters cover both the bactericidal as well as resistance-reversal (or potentiating/ combinatorial therapies) potencies of medicinal plant resources. The book also focuses on how medicinal plant resources effectively target major determinants of AMR. Use of metabolomics in understanding and targeting AMR mechanisms and identifying potent phyto-therapeutics has been discussed as well. The book is a valuable read for both experienced and younger researchers working in the field of AMR and related fields in biomedicine, pharmacy, and clinical research.
