Emerging Modalities in Mitigation of Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the deadliest threats to global  public health. This book focuses on dynamics in the landscape of AMR  while informing about the latest technologies and strategies to mitigate  it. The menace of AMR in different niches, routes of penetration across  various domains, socio-economic impact, and the need for a 'One Health'  approach in mitigating AMR has been emphasized. Factors involved in  AMR, underlying mechanisms, and pharmacometrics in developing  antimicrobials are highlighted. Emphasis is given to emerging  technologies that are sustainable, scalable, and applicable to the  global community, such as big data analytics, bioactive agents, phage  therapy, and nanotechnology. The book also explores current and  alternative treatment strategies to combat AMR, emphasizing the use of  nanoparticles to target pathogens and as a viable alternative to  antibiotics.
