Resistant Strain Spread
Tungkol sa ebook na ito
The book investigates both the biological mechanisms, like horizontal gene transfer via transposons, and the epidemiological factors driving the spread of resistant strains.
A key insight is that antibiotic resistance isn't just a biological issue but a complex problem influenced by human behavior and environmental factors.
The book begins by establishing the molecular basis of resistance, moves to epidemiological dimensions, and culminates in integrated models for prediction and control.
Did you know that agricultural practices significantly contribute to the transmission of resistant strains?
Or that the overuse of antibiotics creates selective pressures, accelerating the evolution of resistance?
By synthesizing diverse scientific literature and genomic data, the book provides a comprehensive, evidence-based understanding of this multifaceted challenge.
This book stands out by integrating insights from various disciplines, from microbiology to public health, to offer a holistic view.
It emphasizes the mechanisms and drivers of resistance spread, rather than clinical management, making it a valuable resource for researchers, students, and policymakers seeking strategies for antibiotic stewardship and infection control.
