The global spread of antimicrobial-resistant pathogenic bacteria is a continuing plague to the health care of humans and domesticated animals. With an international team of editors and authors, this book features the history and use of antimicrobials, methods for detecting and monitoring resistance, detailed reviews of antimicrobial resistance within individual pathogenic species, and forward-looking perspectives on antimicrobial stewardship. This is a "must-have" for agricultural microbiologists, veterinarians, clinical microbiologists, and others interested in understanding and preventing antimicrobial resistance.
