The current flood of alarming scientific papers, books, newspapers, television, and Internet sites generates near hysteria in some circles, but the general public is now learning about super bacteria and how they threaten us all. This book places the emergence of antibiotic resistance into a wide framework, describes our general knowledge about the origin and persistence of antibiotic resistance, describes new ways of coping with resistant bacteria, provides the first detailed itemization of how antibiotics and other antibacterials are used in animals, which are used as pesticides, which are used in humans, as well as which uses overlap.
