The spread of bacterial antibiotic resistance through wastewater has become an increasing problem for all living beings. Because of water scarcity the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation is a practical solution, but there are several human health-related and agricultural risks associated with it.
Antimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater and Human Health provides updated knowledge on the human health risks associated with antimicrobial resistance of wastewater. The chapters address commonly found bacteria and drug resistant genes in wastewater, treatments plant problems and challenges, as well as human health hazards and gaps in current literature on the subject.
Written for researchers, scientists, graduate and PhD students in the areas of Public Health, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, and Environmental Science.
- Examines AMR in wastewater and the related risks to human health
- Provides the reader with expert analysis across a variety of scientific disciplines
- Presents a comprehensive analysis of AMR in wastewater, the risks to human health and the way forward

"...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.” --©Doodys Review Service, 2024, John T.
