The excessive use of antibiotics has given rise to an increase in microbial resistance, threatening our ability to treat infectious diseases. The growth in resistance to antimicrobials and antibiotics threatens to reverse almost a century of medical progress. urgent action plans to tackle the crisis of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and multi-resistant bacteria are needed. It is a major research task to find effective ways to reduce the release and degradation of antibiotics and ARBs to the environment. Degradations of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria from various sources addresses various issues related the generations and degradations, eliminations of antibiotics and antibiotics resistance bacteria. Degradations of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria from various sources contains both practical and theoretical latest and broad aspects of antibiotics and antibiotics resistance bacteria management through the various recent methods. Various factors which are responsible for the efficient degradations are highlighted in the Degradations of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria from various sources as separate chapters. Socioeconomic and policies on the ARBs are also discussed. - Contains both practical and theoretical latest and broad aspects of antibiotics resistant bacteria - Emphasizes the health impact of antibiotic resistance and genes - Gives insight in the applications of anaerobic digestions for eliminations of ARBs (antibiotic resistance blockers) and ARGs (Antibiotic Resistance Genes) - Shows how ARB's influences the degradation processes and management

Resistant Rivals: The Global Threat of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria explores the rising danger of antibiotic resistance and its impact on global health. This in-depth book uncovers how antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as superbugs, have evolved to withstand modern medicine, threatening to undo decades of progress in treating infections. It delves into the history of antibiotics, the science behind bacterial resistance, and the urgent need for global awareness, new drug development, and responsible antibiotic use. Learn about the most dangerous superbugs, such as MRSA and CRE, and the economic, social, and medical consequences of this global health crisis. A must-read for anyone interested in infectious diseases, healthcare policy, and the fight against antibiotic resistance. Discover practical solutions and actions to combat one of the greatest threats to modern medicine in this informative and timely book. Perfect for healthcare professionals, students, and general readers concerned with public health.

This book summarizes the emerging trends in the field of antibiotic resistance of various gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial species. The ability of different species of bacteria to resist the antimicrobial agent has become a global problem. As such, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the advances in our understanding of the origin and mechanism of resistance, discusses the modern concept of the biochemical and genetic basis of antibacterial resistance and highlights the clinical and economic implications of the increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistant pathogens and their ecotoxic effects. It also reviews various strategies to curtail the emergence and examines a number of innovative therapeutic approaches, such as CRISPR, phage therapy, nanoparticles and natural antimicrobials, to combat the spread of resistance.

This book discusses the key problems and solutions with various applicable approaches to combat antibiotic-resistant genes in industrial waste water. Several genes are selected within the chapters to illustrate the past and future roles of molecular ecophysiology and genomics in the development of wastewater microbiology as an important subdiscipline of microbial ecology. As we have very limited knowledge of composition, dynamics and stability of microbial communities, various processes in wastewater treatment have been generally considered to be "black box." In recent years, with the development of several new high throughput sequencing platforms, metagenome sequencing strategies and bioinformatics toolboxes, the analysis of the genome of complex communities has become much more accessible and means easier. The opening of the biological wastewater treatment “black box” is not the unpleasant experience it was before. The viable, but not cultural, ceases to be the inconsequential, uncharacterizable enigma that existed today. Metagenomics leads the way for more specific studies in related fields. Finally, genomic studies of wastewater treatment microbes, in addition to their biotechnological applications, are also an excellent testing ground for variety of other ecological and environmental burns questions. Wastewater treatment plants are considered hotspots for the environmental dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant determinants. Comparative genomics of antibiotic resistant genes isolated from conventional activated sludge and biological aerated filter wastewater treatment plants is discussed.

The potential for antibiotic-resistant bacteria to pass from animals to humans is thought to increase with the aggregate use of antibiotics, and routine feeding of antibiotics is considered by some to be a leading factor in the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in food animals and the subsequent transfer of antibiotic resistance to humans. Enough evidence has accumulated that the practice of feeding antibiotics to food animals has been banned in several countries as a precautionary measure, and bans have been seriously considered in the United States.
