' This stimulating introduction to antibiotic action at the cellular level aims to fill a gap in the present literature available to students. The book gives readers some insight into the advances made in the understanding of the antibiotic activity and demonstrates that the important discoveries made using antibiotics are not restricted to medicinal use. Such studies into the mechanism of the action of antibiotics have revealed much about the biochemistry and physiology of all living cells. After a description of the origins of modern chemotherapy, the book discusses antibiotics as secondary metabolites and describes their production in nature and the variety of chemical structures encountered. Further chapters are devoted to groups of antibiotics which affect selected sites in micro-organisms. The methods which are used to study antibiotic action are discussed as are the future prospects for antibiotic therapy '.
