Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbial resistance is considered a major health issue for humans and is considered one of the most important emerging pathogenic characteristics of zoonotic pathogens. The occurrence of resistant microorganisms in food animals has been well documented. In fact, specific antimicrobial resistance control programs in food animals have had an effect on the occurrence of resistant pathogens in humans. Therefore, an understanding of microbial resistance in the food animal–humans interface is deemed necessary for the prevention of this rather alarming phenomenon. As it involves the environment, animals, and humans, the study and prevention of antimicrobial resistance can only be carried out under the One Health umbrella.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for the publication of research concerning antimicrobial resistance in food animals, humans, and their interface, ideally using the One Health approach. Topics of interest include routes of transmission, the emergence of resistance in both food animals and humans, and resistance genes. Articles discussing new techniques for attenuating and controlling resistance in food animals or preventing its spread to humans are also welcome.
