Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Because the borders between countries are wide open and there is a free movement of goods, people and animals, the spread of infectious diseases is significantly facilitated. Viral and bacterial infectious diseases represent one of the main causes of death worldwide, in both human and veterinary medicine. However, it is also necessary to mention their negative impact on productivity and the economy. Therefore, it is necessary to detect pathogenic bacteria in different livestock by employing the most suitable methods, in regard to the sample type, the timescale of obtaining results, and costs. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is closely related to the pathogenic bacteria present in livestock. It is therefore necessary to monitor data on the incidence of AMR throughout the entire food chain, from farm to table, using methods that enable an easier comparison between results and their further analysis.
