Antibiotics and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in the Environment: Volume 1 in the Advances in Environmental Pollution Research series (Advances in Pollution Research)

Antibiotics and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in the Environment summarizes and updates information on antibiotic producing organisms and their resistance and entry routes in soil, air, water and sediment. As antibiotic use continues to rise in healthcare, their fate, bioavailability and biomonitoring, and impacts on environment and public health are becoming increasingly important. In addition, this book addresses the antibiotic and AMR/ARGs impact on soil microbial community diversity, structure and function. Lastly, it introduces management strategies, such as treatment technologies, biochar application for managing antibiotics and AMR/ARGs-impacted environment, and bioremediation approaches. Incorporating the results of updated models regarding the interpretation of antibiotics and AMR/ARGs in environmental and biomonitoring studies. Antibiotics and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in the Environment facilitates future examinations of antibiotics and AMR/ARGs in the environment by summarizing existing data and research related to antibiotics and AMR/ARGs and offering a framework for scientists and researchers in environmental science and pollution to better understand and analyze their environmental and social impacts.
