"The medical miracle of antibiotics is being eroded by the emergence and spread of
bacterial drug resistance. This is compounded by the fact that bacterial bio-films
are believed to be a common cause of persistent infections, where growing in a biofilm,
bacteria are protected from the host's immune response and antibiotics. This book
describes the molecular mechanisms of bacterial cell-to-cell communication (quorum
sensing), the development of anti-biofilm inhibitors, and the use of such inhibitors
to prevent and treat biofilm-associated bacterial infections in animals and humans."--Jacket
