Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathogenic bacteria are an important source of disease that can threaten human and animal health. Among pathogenic bacteria and disease, zoonotic bacteria are very important in One Health. In particular, antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria is more important than any specific bacterium due to the spread of antibiotic resistance and pathogenic factors. Antimicrobial resistance can lead to failure in the treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the severe challenges facing public health this century. This threat is recognized as a global problem that helped to break up the barriers of human settings a long time ago. AMR is reported in all compartments of the ecosystem, and, accordingly with the WHO, CDC and ECDC, continuous surveillance continues to be a powerful tool in the fight against AMR. This Special Issue proposes to build upon one the analysis of pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria, through attracting and agglutinating new data, updates, opinions, points of view and scientific perspectives on pathogenic bacteria.
You are invited to submit research articles, review articles, and short communications related to the molecular characteristics, pathogenicity, immunology, and antimicrobial resistance of animal pathogenic bacteria.

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. Microorganisms 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 2700 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.
