Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antibiotic resistance presents a formidable challenge, affecting the health of both animals and humans. As we grapple with the rising threat of antibiotic resistance in veterinary microbiology, it is imperative to immerse ourselves in this pivotal research domain. Embracing the core tenets of the One Health concept, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health, we extend a warm invitation to you. We invite your active participation in this critical research endeavor, emphasizing the integral role of a holistic approach to address this pressing global concern.
This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing our understanding of antibiotic resistance within the realm of veterinary microbiology. Potential research areas may include, but are not limited to:
- Mechanisms and patterns of antibiotic resistance in veterinary settings;
- Impact of antibiotic use on animal health and welfare;
- Zoonotic aspects of antibiotic resistance;
- Antibiotic resistance in the context of One Health;
- Strategies for responsible antibiotic use in veterinary practices;
- Publica health implications of veterinary antibiotic resistance.
We encourage contributors to explore these themes and beyond, fostering a diverse range of perspectives to enrich our collective understanding of combatting antibiotic resistance in veterinary microbiology. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Carla Dias
