Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and its Consequences

<p>This book offers comprehensive coverage of all manifestations of resistance in combating infectious diseases and explores advances in antimicrobial resistance in agriculture and their applications in the fight against microbes. It discusses and compares biological biochemical and structural aspects of resistance and its evolution. This is a comprehensive tool covering all manifestations of antimicrobial resistance and microbial resistance genes. In addition it also provides a variety of photographs diagrams and tables to help illustrate the material. Novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are also described emphasizing collaborative measures of control. The underlining molecular mechanisms which depend not only on the microbe but on the specific drug (target) molecule are highly diverse and are covered in great detail.</p><p>Students researchers scientists practitioners academics computational biologists stakeholders and policymakers can benefit from using <em>Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and its Consequences </em>as a resource that addresses microbial biotechnology microbiology ethnopharmacology toxicology medicinal plant products and all disciplines related to antimicrobial research.</p><p><b>Features of the book:</b></p><ul> <li>Covers antimicrobial resistance in agriculture with up-to-date research</li> <li>Includes recent references on each plausible antimicrobial resistance in agriculture</li> <li>Details the possible spread of antibiotic resistance bacteria from animals to humans</li> <li>Provides several perspectives in the resistance flux with modern agricultural practices</li> <li>Describes the public health impact of the use of antibiotics in agriculture</li> <li>Presents cutting-edge research on epigenetics nanotechnology and emergent antimicrobial technologies</li> <li>Outlines recent laws and regulatory guidelines in the federal agency responsibility and authority</li> </ul>
