The Growing Crisis of Antimicrobial Resistance: A Threat to Global Health

The excessive use of antibiotics has led to a worrying rise in microbial resistance, putting our ability to treat infectious diseases at risk. With the growth of resistance to antimicrobials and antibiotics, we are on the brink of reversing nearly a century of medical progress. It is imperative that we take urgent action to tackle the crisis of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and multi-resistant bacteria.

The Need for Efficient Management of Antibiotics and ARBs

The degradation and release of antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria (ARBs) into the environment is a major concern that requires immediate attention. Effective management of antibiotics and ARBs is crucial to mitigate the adverse effects on human health and the environment. The book “Degradations of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria from various sources” addresses the critical issues related to the generation, degradation, and elimination of antibiotics and ARBs.

A Comprehensive Guide to Antibiotics and ARBs Management

This book provides both practical and theoretical insights into the latest methods for managing antibiotics and ARBs. It emphasizes the health impact of antibiotic resistance, highlighting the role of genes and the applications of anaerobic digestion for the elimination of ARBs and Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARGs). The book also explores how ARBs influence degradation processes and management.

The book is divided into separate chapters that focus on the socioeconomic and policy aspects of ARBs, as well as the various factors responsible for efficient degradation. This comprehensive guide is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and healthcare professionals working to combat the growing crisis of Antimicrobial Resistance.
