There is a much greater appreciation for the role of the environment in the dissemination of antimicrobial resistance and the effects of pollutants that can potentially promote development of resistance in bacteria. Contaminants released from wastewater treatment plants are a concern. In \u003ci\u003eAntimicrobial Resistance in Wastewater Treatment Processes,\u003c\/i\u003e readers will be guided through examinations of the current science related to this important health issue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134555046128,"sku":"9781119192459","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781119192459_p0.jpg?v=1763696774","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781119192459","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
