Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled Veterinary Microbiology and Antimicrobial Resistance—the One Health Approach, will highlight the critical intersection between animal, human, and environmental health in combating the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The One Health framework recognizes that the health of all living organisms and their shared environment is interconnected, so tackling AMR requires a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach. This Special Issue brings together cutting-edge research on veterinary microbiology, focusing on the role of animals as reservoirs and vectors for resistant pathogens that can affect both animal and human populations. It explores mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance in veterinary settings, the impact on animal health, and the broader implications for public health. Contributions will also delve into innovative strategies for monitoring, controlling, and mitigating AMR, including policy frameworks, novel treatments, and sustainable practices. By advancing our understanding of how resistance develops and spreads across species, this Special Issue will foster global cooperation for addressing AMR as a shared challenge, ensuring safer and healthier ecosystems for all.
