Actinobacteria and myxobacteria : important resources for novel antibiotics / [electronic resource] Edited by Joachim Wink. - Switzerland : MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2021 - 1 online resource.

Bacterial infections cause millions of deaths globally, particularly in children and the elderly, and four of the 10 leading causes of death are infectious diseases in low- and middle-income countries. The continuous use of antibiotics has resulted in multi-resistant bacterial strains all over the world, such as Community-associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), and, as expected, hospitals have become breeding grounds for human-associated microorganisms, especially in critical care units.
