Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater Treatment Processes
Antimicrobial resistance is arguably the greatest threat to
worldwide human health. This book evaluates the roles of human
water use, treatment and conservation in the development and spread
of antimicrobial resistance. Designed as a companion volume to
Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment (Wiley-Blackwell,
2012), this book is a multi-disciplinary synthesis of topics
related to antimicrobial resistance and wastewater treatment
processes. Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater Treatment
Processes assembles detailed discussions written by many of the
world s best-known experts in microbiology, civil engineering,
chemistry, environmental science, public health and related fields.
The book presents a collection of subjects that includes: * Current
knowledge of the role of the environment in development and spread
of antimicrobial resistance * Chemical analysis of antibiotics in
environmental samples * Molecular methods for analysis of
antimicrobial resistance genes * Advanced wastewater treatment
processes and antimicrobial resistance effects * Public perception
of risk related to health consequences of antimicrobial resistance
* Public health implications of antimicrobial resistance with focus
on wastewater treatment processes Antimicrobial resistance has
gained a foothold in the global consciousness as a serious public
health threat. There is a much greater appreciation for the role of
the environment in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance
and the effects of pollutants that can potentially promote
development of resistance in bacteria. Contaminants released from
wastewater treatment plants are a concern. In Antimicrobial
Resistance in Wastewater Treatment Processes, readers will be
guided through examinations of the current science related to this
important health issue.
