This reference book reviews the latest advancements in the fungal infections and their impact on human health. It presents epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, risk factors, virulence mechanisms, treatment, and strategies for the disease management and prevention of fungal infections. The book further reviews host-pathogen interactions, biofilm formation, and quorum sensing. It also covers the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies of opportunistic fungal infections, emerging fungal infections, and allergic fungal infections. The chapter presents the latest advancements in diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies, covering both conventional techniques and state-of-the-art approaches. Further, the book elucidates antifungal stewardship, nanotechnology, and omics technologies, providing insights into cutting-edge strategies for prevention, control, and management of multidrug-resistant fungi. This book is useful for researchers, students, and health professionals working in the fields of mycology, infectious diseases, immunology, dermatology, and pulmonology.
The 'Handbook of Biotechnology' is a textbook that covers all the topics of the MSc./M.Tech Biotechnology course syllabus across various Universities in India. It is a compilation of major topics of biotechnology at a single platform and summarizes the matter in the form of capsule notes from examination point of view so that the student need not have to divert to different sources for each individual topic and get the course material in one single book. This unique text book covers most of the papers of biotechnology syllabus divided in twenty chapters which are taught throughout the semesters viz. biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, environmental biotechnology, plant biotechnology, animal biotechnology, recombinant DNA technology, bioinformatics and biostatistics to name few. Moreover, it also covers application based topics which are present in syllabus as elective subjects viz. nanobiotechnogy, pharmaceutical biotechnology, stem cells, IPR etc. It is a text book beneficial mainly for postgraduate students pursuing their degrees in biotechnology but UG students may also be benefitted. Additionally, researchers of the biotechnology doctoral courses may also consult the same to brush up their basics to be applied for research Overall, in view of academic curriculum existing in various universities and institutions for biotechnology courses, the present compilation is appropriate and timely book to meet the requirements and interests of undergraduate and postgraduate students of biotechnology.
The dimorphic opportunistic pathogen,Candida albicans is normally a commensal organism in humans, but in immunocompromised individual,as in AIDS,organ transplant,diabetes,cancer patients,it results in systemic or invasive mycoses.Continuous exposure to antifungals has led to the emergence of drug resistance by a phenomenon termed as Multidrug Resistance (MDR).Much progress has been accomplished towards identification and understanding of drug resistance mechansisms that could make better antifungal agents. However,the need for understanding novel molecular mechanisms for MDR is indisputable in these clinically challenging infections by C.albicans. Although the importance of iron during C.albicans infection is known, mechanisms correlating about the influence of iron availability on MDR in this fungus are not reported yet. Since, MDR is a multifactorial phenomenon, iron mediated novel MDR mechanisms described in this book for pathogenic fungi clearly hold promise to be new potential drug regulatory mechanism so that it may facilitate the development of better antifungal strategies and thereby efficiently control the human infectious diseases.
The book "Biotechnology: Progress and Applications" aims to dwell broadly on various topics pertaining to the advancements and current researches in the field of biotechnology. We are entering a new and exciting era of biotechnology and its applications. New horizons are coming up with the advances due to interdisciplinary researches in different biological sciences. Recent developments in the newly established disciplines of genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics together with extensive cooperation between academic and industrial firms have brought about an integration of basic and applied biotechnology as never before. This compilation is the cumulative effort of many stalwarts and the eminent veterans from diverse areas of biotechnology. The chapters are presented in a manner to update and provide comprehensive knowledge to the teachers, UG/PG students and research scholars and also shall serve some interest for the public. The recent explosion in novel biotechnology applications is accelerating the pace of research and development in all discipline such as Stem cells, Nanobiotechnology, Infectious Diseases, Microbial technology, Pharmaceutics, Environmental biotechnology. The book is structured to include the recent advancements of the ongoing research in the field of biotechnology. Thus aim and scope of this book is to clearly illustrate ideas on diverse applications of biotechnology which include concise summaries of cutting-edge research and current prospective applications across a wide subject spectrum.
