Publisher's Synopsis
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.
