Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Monkeypox (MPX) Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), has reached so far, more than 100 countries in multiple continents, leading to more than 75,000 confirmed cases as of October 20, 2022. The implications of the management of patients including multiple aspects, such as the repurposing of antimicrobials, as in the case of antibiotics, but also the therapy of bacterial secondary infections and coinfections, particular associated with complications, such as pneumonia, sepsis, septic shock, skin infections, represent matters of concern, especially after the lessons derived from COVID-19 pandemic and the inappropriate use of antibiotics and antimicrobials. Additionally, in multiple other emerging and reemerging zoonoses, that may be bacterial, mycotic, viral and parasitic, such as plague, rabies, brucellosis, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, zoonotic influenza, among others; the proper use of antibiotics and antimicrobials is key for many of them. This Special Issue will present emerging concepts regarding the implications of antibiotics and antimicrobials use during the MPX multicountry outbreak, as well as on other emerging and reemerging zoonotic diseases, searching for further understanding of the current evidence and future scenarios.
