**II**

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is fast becoming a formidable challenge globally not only in the clinical settings, but also in the agricultural and community settings. Currently, we are running low on options with the depleting antibiotic pipeline and understanding the enemy, in this case, the resistant mechanisms in microorganisms with relation to host interaction, is perhaps the most straightforward step to take in a measured, calculated attempt to solve this problem.

This book explores molecular mechanisms with regard to AMR, control strategies in agriculture, and closing with One Health challenges. It is unquestionable that AMR, inevitably, affects all aspects of life and as long as this cycle remains unbroken and is continuously evolving and expanding, the ability to maintain our very own existence remains threatened. Indeed, the pre-antibiotic era may be nearer than we think.
