PREFACE
The writing of a preface on an old - yet - new subject, such as the one in
this book, is always a diffi cult task. It is common knowledge that the
discovery of penicillin, and subsequently the rest of the antibiotics, has
probably been one of the most important scientifi c contributions to
civilization. By saving millions of lives, antibiotics automatically
increased the half - life of mankind, thus allowing scientists to give their
best to society for 20 to 30 additional years.
It is also common knowledge that resistance to antibiotics is a constant
possibility and unfortunately something to be considered every
time a new antibiotic goes on the market. Because of this, and because
the discovery and design of new antibiotics becomes more and more
diffi cult every year, society, through the work of several worldwide
research groups, is looking into the use of what one of us (Dr. Vincent
Fischetti) has termed “ enzybiotics ” (the result of blending the words
“ enzymes ” and “ antibiotics ” ), for treating bacterial and fungal diseases,
either alone or in combination with antibiotics.
The book starts with four chapters in which the potential, advantages,
and phylogeny of enzybiotics are reviewed. Then, the new ways
of controlling infections by Gram - negative bacteria and an updated
view of bacteriophage holins are presented. After a review of antistaphylococcal
lytic enzymes, the book goes on to discuss membrane -
targeted enzybiotics, as well as the design of phage cocktails for current
therapy. Finally, the last two chapters deal respectively with the novel
methods to identify new enzybiotics and the use of modifi ed phages to
induce suicide in bacteria.
All in all, the contributors are all active researchers, involved in the
topic of enzybiotics. It is hoped that the joining of different points
of view, such as those refl ected in this book, will help to clarify the
