Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foodborne diseases represent a significant burden across the world, with one in ten people falling ill from contaminated food each year. Advanced approach to investigate the prevalence of foodborne pathogens along the food chain and the transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are essential to understand the overall problem. Cutting-edge approaches, particularly those involving rapid and high-throughput technologies for detection and source tracking, are critical to conduct risk management, including assessing the antimicrobial resistance. Previous lab-based approaches, including various MIC assays, remain the cornerstone, while the affordable approach, including genomic sequencing, may further advance the field by reformatting the AMR database, improving genotype–phenotype prediction, and applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to recognize the new AMR features. This Special Issue seeks manuscript submissions that further our understanding of antimicrobial resistance among foodborne bacteria over a broad scope. Submissions regarding cutting-edge approaches to recognize and understand antimicrobial resistance are especially encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antibiotics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
