Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zoonotic bacterial infections are diseases caused by bacteria that can be transmitted between animals and humans. These infections pose a significant public health threat as they can be difficult to control and treat. Genetic studies of zoonotic bacterial infections have helped researchers better understand the mechanisms of transmission, virulence factors, and host susceptibility.
Additionally, antibiotic resistance in zoonotic bacteria is a major concern, as it limits the effectiveness of treatment options. Understanding the genetic factors that contribute to antibiotic resistance in zoonotic bacteria is vital to developing strategies to combat these infections.
Overall, genetic studies of zoonotic bacterial infections play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of these diseases and developing effective prevention and treatment methods. Addressing antibiotic resistance in zoonotic bacteria is essential to preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics for both human and animal health.
This Special Issue seeks manuscripts that contribute to our understanding of the clinical impact of zoonotic bacterial infections. Submissions that explore the genetic and antibiotic resistance response in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and their significance in zoonotic infections are particularly encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antibiotics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
