Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment, 1st Edition

“This is an excellent publication, including primary data and detailed explanations of specific studies and techniques as well as review chapters. As both an introduction to a research area and a call for greater study and thought into how we regulate antimicrobial use in all spheres of society to limit further resistance, I highly recommend Antimicrobial resistance in the environment.” (Phenotype, 1 February 2013)

“This book will be an ideal read for anyone seeking a comprehensive introduction to the many reservoirs and routes a resistance gene may pass through before or after its appearance in a clinical setting. Even experts in the field stand to gain knowledge regarding the complex web that is the issue of antibiotic resistance in the environment.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, 1 December 2012)
