Antibiotics Resistance in Animals and the Environment, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The first volume of the Special Issue “Antibiotics Resistance in Animals and the Environment” was published in 2024. It is a successful issue with 11 published papers and has encouraged us to publish a second edition on the same topic.

As a continuation of the Special Issue published in 2024, this second edition will also search for the development and spread of antibiotic resistance, particularly within the context of animals and the environment. We welcome submissions related to, but not limited to, the following:

• Antibiotic resistance in wildlife；
• Development and spread of antibiotic resistance;
• Novel interventions and strategies to break the transmission cycle in animals and the environment;
• Intrinsic and horizontal transfer mechanisms of resistance from animals;
• Isolation of microbes harboring novel mutations and mobile genetic elements associated with extended spectrum beta-lactams, carbapenems, methicillin, and vancomycin;
• Quantitative determinations in antimicrobial resistance research.

Dr. Anil Poudel
Guest Editor
