Antimicrobials in Environment

Omtale

This book provides a multidisciplinary coverage of all manifestations of antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance technology to promote eco-friendly processes and techniques for environmental sustainability. It covers various aspects of the multidisciplinary framework, applying principles of microbiology, environmental toxicology, and chemistry to assess the human and ecological risks associated with exposure to antibiotics or antibiotic resistance genes that are environmental contaminants. In addition, it also provides a variety of photographs, diagrams, and tables to help illustrate the material. Bringing together contributions from researchers on different continents with expertise in antibiotic resistance in a range of diverse environmental sections, the book offers a detailed reflection on the paths that make antibiotic resistance a global threat, and the state-of-the-art in antibiotic resistance surveillance and risk assessment in complex environmental conditions.Students, researchers, scientists, environmentalists, academics, computational biologists, stakeholders, and policymakers can benefit from using Antimicrobials in Environment as a resource that addresses microbial biotechnology, microbiology, toxicology, and all disciplines related to antimicrobial research.Features of the book:Covers antimicrobial resistance in the environment with up-to-date research.Includes recent references on each plausible antimicrobial resistance in the environment.Details the possible spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from an ecosystem.Describes the public health impact of the use of antibiotics in the environment.Presents cutting-edge research on nanotechnology, especially in food packaging, and emergent antimicrobial technologies.Highlights the antibiotic resistance in the environment: challenges and outlook.
