Preface
The important thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of thinking about them
Sir William Bragg, Nobel Prize in Physics
Microbiology has made a huge contribution to the pharmaceutical industry. Indeed, microbes have been used to produce antibiotics , enzymes, polysaccharides, proteins, vitamins and nucleotides. Further, with the advent of new approaches and modern techniques, pharmaceutical industries are looking for innovative solutions, such as bioengineering, to improve the quality of products and enhance productivity. Bioengineering is a discipline that applies engineering principles of design and analysis to biological systems and biomedical technologies. Bioengineering concepts can be applied to the pharmaceuticals as well as to microbes to generate better quality products. This book presents recent advances in microbial technology with emphasis on drug delivery strategies for healthcare products, vaccine delivery, biotransformation and processing of biopharmaceuticals .
The first chapter by Ageitos and Garcia-Fuentes reviews innovative drug delivery strategies for microbial healthcare products (Fig. , Kumar et al. review the preparation methods of polylactide/polylactide-co-glycolide delivery-based particles, their properties as carriers of bioactive molecules and applications of delivery systems based on polymeric particles against microbes.

It was our pleasure to interact with all the authors, and we wish to express our gratitude to all the contributors for accepting our invitation. We greatly appreciate their commitment and contribution in shaping the scattered information from diverse fields into their chapters and incorporating the editorial suggestions to produce this venture.
We also extend our thanks to the Springer Nature team for their generous cooperation at every stage of the book production. We hope that the book will serve to update the knowledge and will be helpful to the students, professors, scientists and researchers who have focus on drug discovery. Lastly, we acknowledge God and our family members, who keep motivating and provided all the channels to work in cohesion and coordination right from the conception of the idea to the finalization of the book.
