Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater and Human Health provides updated knowledge on the human health risks associated with antimicrobial resistance of wastewater. The book's chapters address commonly found bacteria and drug resistant genes in wastewater, treatment plant problems and challenges, human health hazards, and gaps in current literature. Written for researchers, scientists, graduate and PhD students in the areas of Public Health, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, and Environmental Science, this will be an ideal resource.

"...offers readers a broad perspective on and outlines the importance of addressing issues of antibiotic resistance in wastewater. This book is intended for a wide spectrum of medical and healthcare personnel, including those in biotechnology and engineering fields. Operators of wastewater treatment facilities also constitute a potential readership.… Each chapter is authored by a panel of subject matter experts.... [and] follows the same structure, including a short introduction, defining a problem, and then discussing its mechanism or even possible treatment. Some topics include drug resistant bacteria in wastewater, the spread of antibiotic resistance, wastewater reuse, wastewater treatment, and human health risks.... There is much to like about this book, especially that it adopts a “One Health” approach, linking human health closely to that of animals and their shared environment.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, John T. Pierce, MBBS(MD) PhD (Navy Environmental Health Center)
