Medicinal Plants as Anti-infectives: Current Knowledge and New Perspectives provides comprehensive and updated data on medicinal plants and plant-derived compounds used as antimicrobials in a range of locations (such as the Balkans, Colombia, India, Lebanon, Mali, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, South Africa, and West Africa). It also provides an overview on the most recent innovations and regulations in the field of drug discovery from ethnobotanical sources. This book will help readers to better appreciate the role of plants and phytomedicines as anti-infectives, to better assess the health benefits of plant-derived products, to help implement new methodologies for studying medicinal plants, and to guide future researchers in the field. Medicinal Plants as Anti-infectives: Current Knowledge and New Perspectives is a valuable resource for students, academic scientists, and researchers from the fields of ethnobotany, pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, and microbiology, as well as for professionals working in national or international health agencies, or in pharmaceutical industries.

François Chassagne is a pharmacist and researcher at the IRD (French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development) in the UMR 152 PharmaDev research unit based in Toulouse, France. He graduated from the School of Pharmacy at Paris Descartes University in France, and he obtained his Ph.D. degree in Pharmacology at the Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse, France. He was a postdoctoral fellow specializing in the study of anti-infective medicinal plants at Emory University in Atlanta, GA in the United States. He is currently working in the field of ethnopharmacology, developing ethnobotanical and pharmacological tools to validate the use of traditional remedies.
