Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture: Perspective, Policy and Mitigation is a valuable industrial resource that addresses complex, multi-factorial topics regarding farm, wild, companion animals, fish, and how the environment plays an important role in amplification and transmission of resistant bugs into the human food chain. Information of phenotypical and genotypical properties of each bacterial genus associated with antimicrobial resistance, transmission dynamics from different reservoirs (food animals, poultry, fishes) and control measures with alternative therapy, such as phytobiotics and nanomaterials are provided. Researchers, scientists and practitioners will find this an essential resource on the judicial use of antibiotics in animals and humans.

Dr. Indranil Samanta is an Assistant Professor at the West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences. Prior to his current position, he conducted his post-graduate research at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) and subsequently served as Assistant Professor at S.K. University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K). Dr. Samanta’s research focuses on Indian livestock, poultry, captive birds, and pet animals as sources of zoonotic pathogens such as STEC, EPEC, EHEC, Salmonella, Klebsiella, Cryptococcus, and dermatophytes. He has authored four books entitled Veterinary Bacteriology, Veterinary Mycology, Pet bird diseases and care, and Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture.
Dr. Samiran Bandyopadhyay is a Senior Scientist at ICAR-IVRI. His research focuses on emergence of antimicrobial resistance in livestock from eastern and north-eastern India. Recent interests include etiopathogenesis of diarrheal and abortive illnesses of yaks in the Himalayan ranges
