Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat. The menace of antimicrobial resistance is present across health, animal, agriculture, food, and environment sectors. It, therefore, requires an inter-disciplinary combat approach- the one health approach, envisaged by the FAO-UNEP-WHO-WOAH Quadripartite (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).  This comprehensive reference book provides a thorough understanding of antimicrobial resistance across different sectors. It presents deep insights and gives a global perspective on antimicrobial resistance for policymakers. The book offers essential and up-to-date information that enables researchers from multiple fields to design research on antimicrobial resistance. The book discusses molecular mechanisms and antibiotic resistance genesof significant antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, regulatory frameworks available worldwide, and mitigation strategies across the sectors, including probiotics, prebiotics, antimicrobial peptides, bacteriophages, phytochemical compounds, immunostimulants, vaccines, bacteriocins, etc. It compiles essays from leading experts in the field of antimicrobial resistance research. The book is meant for students and researchers in microbiology, medical microbiology, and public health. It is also helpful for clinicians and policymakers.

This book provides an integrated understanding of drug-resistant infections and antimicrobial resistance, bringing together microbiology, clinical medicine, public health, policy, surveillance, antimicrobial stewardship, and the One Health approach. Divided into five sections, the book discusses the evolution of antibiotics and examines rational antibiotic use while addressing key drivers of AMR and evidence-based containment strategies. It explores global initiatives, One Health approaches, and the roles of health systems, veterinary practice, environmental sectors, private healthcare providers, and civil society in mitigating AMR. Further chapters discuss the AMR surveillance across human and animal health sectors, antimicrobial consumption monitoring, stewardship programs, infection prevention, and vaccination strategies. The book also discusses research priorities, challenges in antibiotic development, alternative therapeutic approaches, and communication frameworks supporting behavior change and sustainable AMR control.The book is relevant for policy makers, medical professionals, veterinary professionals, civil society stakeholders, environmentalists, and communication scientists working in antimicrobial resistance prevention, public health planning, and global health policy.
