Recent Advancements in Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 3, Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Approach provides an overview on the recent application of the microorganisms in different aspects of life such as medical and pharmaceutical approach. This book is to integrate all these diverse areas of research in a common platform. Multi drug resistant pathogens create a serious problem in the world. All the researchers are looking for new approaches, how to develop new antibiotics that can be flight against MDR pathogens. This book covers how diverse microbes could be the alternative way to fight against MDR pathogens. Moreover, it also covers microbially derived biosensors and how they could be helpful to diagnose various diseases.
