      abstract = {This book summarizes the current state of knowledge  regarding antibiotics and antibiotics resistance genes  (ARGs) in the soil environment. It covers a wide range of  topics to help readers understand antibiotics and ARGs in  soils, the risks they pose for the environment, and options  for effective control. In addition, it presents a range of  essential tools and methodologies that can be used to  address antibiotics and ARGs in a consistent, efficient,  and cost-effective manner. Gathering contributions by  international experts, the book addresses both theoretical  aspects and practical applications.The topics discussed  include antibiotics-producing microorganisms; the routes of  entry and fate of antibiotics and resistance genes;  biomonitoring approaches; dissemination of ARGs in soils;  risk assessment; the impact of antibiotics and ARGs on the  soil microbial community and other biota; bioremediation  and biodegradation approaches; and soil management  strategies for antibiotics and ARG-contaminated soils.As  such, the book will be of interest to students, researchers  and scholars in environmental science and engineering,  toxicology, the medical and pharmaceutical sciences,  environmental biotechnology, soil sciences, microbial  ecology and plant biotechnology. Readers and Journals: 1.   This new volume on antibiotics and antibiotics resistance  genes (ARGs) in the soil environment will be of interest to  students, researchers and scholars in environmental science  and engineering, toxicology, the medical and pharmaceutical  sciences, environmental biotechnology, soil  sciences,microbial ecology and plant biotechnology. 2. The  book will provide government authorities all over the world  with effective strategies for the management of antibiotics  and antibiotics resistance genes (ARG)- contaminated soil.  3. Gathering contributions by international experts,the  book addresses both theoretical aspects and practical  applications.},
