Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aquaculture is becoming one of the most important sources of foods that provide micronutrients to human beings. However, the sustainable of aquaculture is severely threatened by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in aquaculture not only poses threats to the culture of aquatic animals, resulting in huge economic, but also potentially disseminates antibiotic-resistant genes throughout the envrionment. Due to the lack of effective measures in managing antibiotic-resistant bacteria, novel strategies are urgently needed.
Due to the lack of attention relative to antibiotic resistance in aquaculture, we have arranged the focus of this Special Issue around reports relative to the current situation of antibiotic resistance in aquculture around the world, antibiotic-resistant profiles, and emerging pathogens or any novel antibiotic-resistant mechanism. Furthermore, we also encourage content that proposes alternatives relative to currently used methodology in controlling antibiotic-resistant bacteria in aquculture, especially methods reusing currently available antibiotics or those that boost host immunity in order to win the fight aginst antibiotic resistance.
