This book is a comprehensive overview of the fungi that are
clinically relevant for animals and humans. It is divided in three
major parts: the first part comprises the history of veterinary and
medical mycology, general aspects of morphology, growth, nutrition,
reproduction and classification of fungi. In the second part, the
etiologic agents of cutaneous, subcutaneous and systemic mycoses
are described in detail with special emphasis on emerging and
uncommon pathogenic fungi. Each chapter consists of a brief history
and the morphology, classification, reproduction, susceptibility to
disinfectants, natural habitat, distribution, genome, isolation,
growth and colony characteristics, antigenic characteristics,
virulence factors. The major diseases and their routes of
transmission, pathogenesis, immunity, diagnosis and treatment are
also covered. The third part focuses on laboratory diagnosis
including clinical sample collection, their processing for fungal
isolation, special stains for microscopic visualization, culture
media composition and a relevant glossary. Each chapter includes
color photographs, schematic diagrams and tables for better
understanding.
Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture: Perspective, Policy and
Mitigation is a valuable industrial resource that addresses
complex, multi-factorial topics regarding farm, wild, companion
animals, fish, and how the environment plays an important role in
amplification and transmission of resistant bugs into the human
food chain. Information of phenotypical and genotypical properties
of each bacterial genus associated with antimicrobial resistance,
transmission dynamics from different reservoirs (food animals,
poultry, fishes) and control measures with alternative therapy,
such as phytobiotics and nanomaterials are provided. Researchers,
scientists and practitioners will find this an essential resource
on the judicial use of antibiotics in animals and humans.
