Beschreibung
Bacteria Resistance Rise explores the growing threat of antibiotic resistance, a critical issue in microbiology, biology, and public health. It delves into how bacteria evolve resistance through genetic mutations and the overuse of antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture. The book highlights the urgent need for global action to prevent a return to the pre-antibiotic era, where common infections could become deadly.
The book examines the interconnectedness of global resistance patterns, exploring regional variations and the impact of international travel and trade. It emphasizes the importance of "One Health," an approach integrating human, animal, and environmental health. Supported by epidemiological studies and genomic analyses, this book bridges microbiology with public health and economics.
Structured for a broad audience, the book begins with fundamental concepts of microbiology before exploring resistance mechanisms and global patterns. It concludes with potential solutions, like novel drug development and improved infection control. By addressing the science, economics, and social implications, Bacteria Resistance Rise empowers readers to understand and combat this challenge.
