Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognized as one of the greatest threats to human and animal health, with profound implications for food safety and environmental sustainability. As resistant microorganisms spread through food chains, agricultural systems, and ecosystems, a comprehensive One Health approach is essential for understanding and mitigating these risks. Challenges persist in addressing AMR largely thanks to a need for greater awareness about good practices among human and veterinary health professionals and citizens, as well as the absence of harmonized surveillance systems across different sectors, which leads to a lack of comprehensive data. Without surveillance, the development and dissemination of resistance in zoonotic pathogens complicates both prevention and control strategies, as it is quite difficult to implement evidence-based measures to mitigate these risks. This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in the intersection of AMR, food safety, environmental health, practice of health professionals, public awareness, and One Health. We welcome submissions discussing AMR and One Health, including multidisciplinary approaches and evidence-based policies. By bringing together veterinary, microbiological, environmental, and public health perspectives, this Special Issue will promote integrated solutions to reduce the global AMR burden.
