Sommario/riassunto

Nanotechnology has been established in membrane technology for decades. In this book, comprehensive coverage is given to nanotechnology applications in synthetic membrane processes, which are used in different fields such as water treatment, separation of gases, the food industry, military use, drug delivery, air filtration, and green chemistry. Nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles, and dendrimers are contributing to the development of more efficient and cost-effective water filtration processes. Gas separation and carbon capture can be significantly improved in flue gas applications. Nanoporous membrane systems engineered to mimic natural filtration systems are being actively developed for use in smart implantable drug delivery systems, bio artificial organs, and other novel nano-enabled medical devices. The microscopic structure of nanoporous ceramic membranes, mainly focusing on zeolite materials, as well as the energy-saving effect of membrane separation, contribute to various chemical synthesis processes. In the food industry, nanotechnology has the potential to create new tools for pathogen



detection and packaging. For each application, nanotechnology is mostly used to make composite membranes, and the book provides a detailed look at the mechanisms by which the composite membrane works in each application area.

Sommario/riassunto

Die Anwendung von antibakteriell wirksamen Substanzen in der Veterinärmedizin erfolgt zum einen aus Gründen des Verbraucherschutzes, zum anderen zur Erhaltung der Tiergesundheit. Gleichzeitig führt jeder Einsatz von Antibiotika zur Selektion von bereits bestehenden Resistenzen, auch wird das Entstehen neuer Resistenzmechanismen begünstigt. Aus diesen Gründen müssen nachhaltig wirksame Managementmaßnahmen ergriffen werden, um den Eintrag von resistenten Bakterien insbesondere durch Lebensmittel liefernde Tiere in die menschliche Nahrungskette möglichst gering zu



halten bzw. zu vermeiden. Zur Beurteilung der aktuellen Resistenzsituation und -entwicklung ist die Erhebung valider Empfindlichkeitsdaten für tierpathogene Bakterien erforderlich. Das Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) erhebt diese Daten im Rahmen des Nationalen Resistenzmonitorings (GERM-Vet) seit 2001. Diese Daten ermöglichen es, koordinierende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen und Entscheidungshilfen zur kalkulierten Therapie zu geben.
