Microbial Stress Survival explores the diversity of microbes, the microbe-host relationship, and the various strategies employed by microbes that enable them to adapt to stressful environments and persist in hostile conditions. The book aims to cover critical pathogen biology, microbial adaptation and survival strategies, and the impact of microbial resilience on therapeutic efforts. Topics include the modulation of host pathways by pathogens for their adaptation and survival; their drug tolerance and antimicrobial resistance; role of proteins in microbial stress survival; and evolutionary adaptative mechanisms of extremophiles. Microbial Stress Survival is an insightful resource for those interested in pathogen biology and the different adaptive features and resilience of microbes.

He received MSc and PhD degree in Biotechnology from University of Hyderabad, India. He did his postdoctoral research at TIFR-National Centre for Biological Sciences Bangalore, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India. He also worked as a Visiting Research Scientist at Robert Koch Institute Berlin, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the study of virulence mechanisms and strategies of survival, adaptation, and persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. He was involved in identification of an enzyme from M. tuberculosis that promote biofilm formation and drugs that enhanced the potency of two current anti-tuberculosis antibiotics. He received many scholarships, awards, and fellowship during his education. He has many publications in international journals and books.
