“Antibiotic Resistance Rise” tackles one of modern medicine's most critical challenges: the growing ineffectiveness of antibiotics against bacterial infections. The book expertly weaves together three fundamental themes: the biological mechanisms of bacterial resistance, human behaviors accelerating this crisis, and the urgent need for global collaboration to combat this threat.

Through a careful examination of WHO surveillance data and clinical studies, it reveals alarming patterns of resistance development across different bacterial species and geographical regions. The narrative begins with a historical perspective on antibiotics, from the discovery of penicillin to our current predicament, before delving into the complex interplay between healthcare practices, agricultural use, and policy decisions that have contributed to this crisis.

Drawing from extensive peer-reviewed research and epidemiological studies, the book presents compelling evidence of how antimicrobial resistance threatens to undermine decades of medical progress. Case studies from various healthcare settings worldwide provide concrete examples of both successful and failed resistance management strategies.

What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to addressing solutions, combining technical insights with practical applications for healthcare providers, policymakers, and the public. The book progresses logically from understanding resistance mechanisms at the cellular level to exploring broader societal impacts and proposing actionable solutions. It serves as both a warning about the consequences of inaction and a roadmap for addressing this global health challenge through improved antibiotic stewardship and coordinated international efforts.
