Description

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most urgent global health threats of the 21st century, challenging people's ability to prevent and treat infectious diseases. The tools and insights of modern microbiology can help curb the rise of drug-resistant pathogens. By understanding microbial genetics, mechanisms of resistance, and patterns of transmission, medical microbiologists play a critical role in developing smarter diagnostics and informing public-health strategies. This scientific innovation and stewardship can work together to preserve the effectiveness of life-saving antimicrobials. Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance Through Medical Microbiology explores the biggest challenges in modern healthcare today AMR and the rise of new infectious diseases. It examines advancements in technology are changing the way doctors identify and treat infections. Covering topics such as microbiology, antimicrobial, and infectious diseases, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, scientists, policy makers, and graduate students.
