Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture: Perspective, Policy and Mitigation
Samanta, Indranil
Bandyopadhyay, Samiran
Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture: Perspective, Policy and Mitigation is a valuable industrial resource that addresses complex, multi-factorial topics regarding farm, wild, companion animals, fish, and how the environment plays an important role in amplification and transmission of resistant bugs into the human food chain. Information of phenotypical and genotypical properties of each bacterial genus associated with antimicrobial resistance, transmission dynamics from different reservoirs (food animals, poultry, fishes) and control measures with alternative therapy, such as phytobiotics and nanomaterials are provided. Researchers, scientists and practitioners will find this an essential resource on the judicial use of antibiotics in animals and humans. Explores all the genera of livestock and fish originated pathogenic bacteria associated with antimicrobial resistancePresents cutting-edge research on epigenetics, nanotechnology and intervention technologiesDiscusses transmission dynamics of resistance gene pools from different reservoirs, including food animals, poultry, fishes and the environment INDICE: 1. History of antimicrobial resistance 2. Use of antimicrobials and antibiotics in livestock, poultry, fishery and agriculture 3. Emergence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in livestock, poultry and agriculture 4. Emergence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in aquaculture 5. Emergence of antimicrobial resistant bacteria in environment 6. Mechanisms of drug resistance in clinically relevant microorganisms 7. Characteristics of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms of concern to animal, fish and human health 8. Cross-resistance between biocides and antimicrobials 9. Antimicrobial stewardship 10. Alternative anti-infective therapy 11. Antimicrobial resistance: One health approach
