本书是新出现的耐药性领域过去和最近知识的汇编。本书涵盖了细菌、真菌、疟疾和癌症的耐药性的主要方面.人类在地球上的生存不断受到疾病和综合症的威胁。从早期开始，医学研究的目的就是寻找能够提高人类生活质量的治疗药物。虽然人类从早期开始就依赖天然化合物，但在上个世纪，人类对药物的依赖性大大增加。化学和生物学的进步帮助研究人员找到了改善许多疾病治疗的药物。治疗这些疾病的主要因素取决于药物的疗效。对这些药物产生抗药性是主要的障碍之一。虽然有许多关于这个主题的书籍，但跨王国的 "耐药性 "生物学从来没有以一致的方式讨论过。

This book is a compilation of past and recent knowledge in the field of emerging drug resistance. The book covers major aspects of drug resistance in bacteria, fungi, malaria, and cancer.Human survival on earth is constantly threatened by disease and syndrome. From the early days, the aim of research in medicine was to find therapeutic agents that can improve the quality of human life. Although humans are dependent on natural compounds from early days their dependence of drugs increased excessively in last century. The advances in chemistry and biology have helped researchers to identify the drugs that have improved treatment of many diseases. The primary factor for treatment of these diseases is dependent on the efficacy of drugs available. The development of resistance to these drugs is one of the major hindrances. Although there are number of books available on this topic, “drug resistance” biology across kingdoms has never been discussed in a coherent way.
