Antimicrobial Resistance in Humans, Animals, and the Environment: One Health Approach examines the global impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with a specific focus on the interconnectedness between animal, human, and environmental health. The book details the origin, evolution and ecology of AMR and its updated epidemiology. It discusses the transmission of antimicrobial resistance between humans, animals, and the environment. It delves into the molecular mechanisms of drug resistance development and epidemiology in human and animal health; the different challenges in treating antimicrobial-resistant infections including rapid diagnosis and the development of new antimicrobial agents; and alternative strategies treating drug-resistant infections. Antimicrobial Resistance in Humans, Animals, and the Environment: One Health Approach is a useful comprehensive resource for researchers, academics postgraduate students, PhD students, early career researchers, and medical scientists in microbiology, infectious diseases, and biotechnology, public health professionals, clinical personnel treating AMR, or policymakers interested in implementing antimicrobial stewardship program in hospitals.Discusses antimicrobial resistance across the microbial kingdoms of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa and details the molecular mechanisms of resistance development in microbesExamines the link Between the environment, such as climate change, industrialization, and heavy metal pollution, and the rise of resistant microbesOffers alternative strategies to tackling AMR and the treatment of drug-resistant infections
