Lantibiotics as Alternative Therapeutics 1st Edition

Lantibiotics as Alternative Therapeutics, 1st Edition by Sanket Joshi, Rajiv Kar, Dibyajit Lahiri, and Moupriya Nag offers a timely, authoritative exploration of peptide-based antimicrobials poised to reshape infection control worldwide. As antimicrobial resistance escalates, this book places lantibiotics — potent, ribosomally synthesized peptide antibiotics — at the forefront of alternative therapeutics for researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals.

Beginning with clear, accessible explanations of lantibiotic structure and mechanism of action, the text guides readers through discovery, biosynthesis, and bioengineering strategies that enhance potency and stability. Detailed chapters cover laboratory screening, fermentation and purification approaches, formulation challenges, safety and toxicity assessments, and regulatory pathways for clinical translation. Real-world case studies and comparative analyses highlight applications in human medicine, veterinary use, and food safety, making the work especially relevant to readers across India, Asia, and global markets battling hospital-acquired and community infections.

What sets this volume apart is its practical orientation: evidence-based insights, actionable protocols, and critical discussion of commercialization hurdles support translational research and product development. Written by a multidisciplinary team, the book balances rigorous science with strategic guidance for drug developers, microbiologists, and public-health policymakers seeking alternatives to conventional antibiotics.

Concise yet comprehensive, Lantibiotics as Alternative Therapeutics is an indispensable resource for academic libraries, pharmaceutical teams, and clinicians committed to overcoming antibiotic resistance. Add this first edition to your professional library to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving field of peptide therapeutics and discover new pathways to safer, targeted infection control.
