Antimicrobial Resistance in Zoonotic Bacteria
Due to the extensive antimicrobial use in humans and agriculture, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a major threat to global health. The intensive use of antimicrobials in animals selects AMR genes, which then can be transferred to human pathogens via a variety of horizontal gene transfer mechanisms. Although the prevalence and mechanisms of AMR have been studied in common foodborne pathogens and indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and the species of Enterococcus, Salmonella, and Campylobacter, the situation with other rarely investigated veterinary and zoonotic bacteria such as Leptospira, Brucella, Borrelia, Lawsonia and other genera is less clear. In addition, the majority of surveillance and control programs have been designed to target commensal and zoonotic bacteria in food production animals, thus AMR bacteria in companion, wild and other animals have received less attention.
Bioactive Molecules in Food
This reference work provides comprehensive information about the bioactive molecules presented in our daily food and their effect on the physical and mental state of our body. Although the concept of functional food is new, the consumption of selected food to attain a specific effect existed already in ancient civilizations, namely of China and India. Consumers are now more attentive to food quality, safety and health benefits, and the food industry is led to develop processed- and packaged-food, particularly in terms of calories, quality, nutritional value and bioactive molecules. This book covers the entire range of bioactive molecules presented in daily food, such as carbohydrates, protei...
Animal Waste, Water Quality and Human Health
Domestic animals contaminate recreational waters and drinking-water sources with excreta and pathogens; but this threat to public health is inadequately understood and is insufficiently addressed in regulations. More than 85% of the world’s faecal wastes is from domestic animals such as poultry, cattle, sheep and pigs. These animals harbor zoonotic pathogens that are transported in the environment by water, especially runoff. However little information exists on health effects associated with exposure to this potential hazard to human health; and water standards focused on control of human fecal contamination do reflect the contribution of non-human fecal contamination to risk. Does compli...
E. Coli Infections
Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are the most numerous commensal aerobic germs located in the human colon. Diarrhea caused by E. coli pathogenic strains is a major cause of death in developing countries, especially the sub-Saharan and South Asian areas. Some strains cause diarrhea, and all of them may produce an infectious disease. This book includes ten chapters covering the main aspects of infections related to E. coli, their pathogenic mechanisms, treatments, and resistance to diverse antibiotics.
Limited Views
This translation of 65 pieces from Qian Zhongshu's Guanzhui bian (Limited Views) makes available for the first time in English a representative selection from Qian's massive four-volume collection of essays and reading notes on the classics of early Chinese literature. First published in 1979, it has been hailed as one of the most insightful and comprehensive treatments of themes and motifs in early Chinese writing to appear in this century. Scholar, novelist, and essayist Qian Zhongshu (b. 1910) is arguably contemporary China's foremost man of letters, andLimited Views is recognized as the culmination of his study of literature in both the Chinese and the Western traditions.

Cryptosporidium: parasite and disease
This new volume on Cryptosporidium and Cryptosporidiosis discusses all relevant aspects of the biology, molecular biology, host-parasite interaction, epidemiology as well as diagnosis and treatment of these widespread parasites. It represents a useful guide for physicians, microbiologists, veterinarians and water professionals seeking advanced knowledge and guidance about these important parasitic pathogens. A section on practical lab procedures discusses step-by-step guidelines for sample preparation and lab procedures. The new book may further serve as a reference work for graduate students in medical and veterinary microbiology.
