Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the growing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance has posed a global threat to human and animal health. Human–animal interactions contribute to the exchange of genetic material between microorganisms and reinforce the dissemination of multi-resistant bacteria. An understanding of the importance of the zoonotic transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial strains can help to slow their spread and ensure human and animal health. Cases of different species of wild and companion animals carrying these antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms in their respective habitats have already been reported. The increased incidence of human infection with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria has resulted in increased awareness and concern regarding this phenomenon in animal hosts. Thus, it is very important that we continuously monitor and report the isolation of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, as well as suggesting control measurements for combating antimicrobial resistance not only among animals but also in a wider One Health context.
