Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first volume of the Special Issue “Mastitis: Causative Agents, Drug Resistance, and Treatment Approaches” was published in October 2024 and was met with great success. This positive reception inspired us to launch a second volume, continuing our exploration of this critical topic.
Mastitis, primarily caused by bacterial infections, remains a significant economic and health concern in the dairy industry. It leads to reduced milk yields, compromised quality, and the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Building on the insights from the first volume, this second edition will provide updated information on pathogen distribution and antimicrobial resistance patterns.
We will also explore alternative treatment approaches to minimizing the development of drug resistance. By integrating new research and practical solutions, we hope to offer a comprehensive perspective on addressing mastitis effectively.
