Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacteria of Animal Origin

Comprehensively examines the current research on antimicrobial resistance in the main veterinary and zoonotic pathogens. - Provides information on modes of action of antibiotics and mechanisms of bacterial resistance, in addition to exploring the history of antimicrobial use in agriculture. - Examines antimicrobial resistance in specific bacteria, including: the family Pasteurellaceae, species of Campylobacter, pathogenic Escherichia coli, staphylococci, streptococci, and Enterococcus. - Details phenotypic and molecular methods for susceptibility testing, regulatory mechanisms for usage of antibiotics, and methods for monitoring drug usage and resistance. - Serves as an important reference for students, researchers, public health experts, veterinarians, and anyone with an interest in resistant bacteria in animals.
