This new book will present a collection of relevant discussions of the most up-to-date research on the subject of antimicrobial resistance in wastewater treatment processes. The behavior and fate of antibiotic compounds, genetic elements of antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial resistant organisms through the wastewater treatment process will be included in chapters prepared by experts in this field of research. Various wastewater treatment technologies will be described and compared as effective means to reduce the contaminant load that can alter antimicrobial resistance patterns in...

Examines effects of the environmental distribution of antimicrobial resistance genes on human health and the ecosystem

Resistance genes are everywhere in nature--in pathogens, commensals, and environmental microorganisms. This contributed work shows how the environment plays a pivotal role in the development of antimicrobial resistance traits in bacteria and the distribution of resistant microbial species, resistant genetic material, and antibiotic compounds. Readers will discover the impact of the distribution in the environment of antimicrobial resistance genes and antibiotics on both...
