Academic Press - Degradation of Antibiotics and ARBs Book

The excessive use of antibiotics has led to an increase in microbial resistance, creating a significant threat to our ability to treat infectious diseases. This rise in resistance to antimicrobials and antibiotics threatens to reverse nearly a century of medical progress. This publication, part of the Developments in Microbiology series, addresses the urgent need for action plans to tackle the crisis of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) and multi-resistant bacteria. Researching effective ways to reduce the release and degradation of antibiotics and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (ARBs) into the environment is a major task for the scientific community. This book provides essential insights into these processes and the challenges posed by environmental contamination. It serves as a necessary resource for those studying the impact of antibiotic degradation and the spread of resistance from various sources.
