Gut Microbiota, Zoonotic Diseases and Antimicrobial Research

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on "Gut Microbiota, Zoonotic Diseases and Antimicrobial Research" in the journal Microorganisms invites researchers to contribute their latest findings and advancements in understanding the complex interplay between gut microbiota, zoonotic diseases, and antimicrobial research. This Special Issue aims to explore the crucial role of the gut microbiota in zoonotic disease and the development of antimicrobial strategies to combat these infections.

The gut microbiota plays a significant role in maintaining host health and immune function, while zoonotic diseases present a global public health concern. Understanding the interactions between gut microbiota and zoonotic pathogens is vital for developing effective prevention and control measures. This Special Issue welcomes submissions on gut microbial ecology, zoonotic disease transmission dynamics, host–microbiota interactions, and novel antimicrobial approaches targeting zoonotic pathogens.

Researchers from diverse fields, including microbiology, infectious diseases, and veterinary medicine are encouraged to contribute their original research articles, reviews, and communications.

Dr. Andreia J. Amaral
