Description

Hayes and Wolf (Biomedical Research Centre; U. of Dundee, UK) lead 18 other interdisciplinary contributors in undertaking a ten-part scrutiny of the distressingly successful defenses of some microorganisms against antibiotics, cancer chemotherapy, and even multidrug treatments. In a parallel process of natural selection, some insects and fungi are becoming resistant to herbicides and pesticides. With insights from molecular genetics, some hope is offered for modulation, even circumvention, of this phenomenon. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
