in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), bringing together leading experts to share their knowledge
on the complex mechanisms of AMR and the latest clinical recommendations for diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention. The book delves into how AMR is a critical global health threat
driven by the misuse of antibiotics in medicine, agriculture, and the environment, undermining
treatment effectiveness and food security. The volume highlights urgent needs for molecular
research, global collaboration, and innovative solutions such as nanotechnology and alternative
therapies to combat the spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens. It also emphasizes the
importance of responsible antimicrobial use, improved surveillance, and coordinated action
across sectors to manage and prevent AMR sustainably. With a balanced view of the current
state of knowledge, this book highlights areas of uncertainty and controversy and identifies
future research directions. The book is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians
seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest advances, students and academics looking for a
comprehensive and authoritative textbook, and industry professionals and policymakers
interested in understanding the latest developments and challenges in the field. The book will
provide them a unique opportunity to explore the complex interplay between AMR and gain a
deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, ultimately aiming to
contribute to developing effective strategies to combat AMR and improve human health globally.
This book is a self-contained collection of scholarly papers targeting an audience of practicing
medical and basic researchers, academicians, MD/Ph.D. students and scientists.
