Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents has been widely discussed for decades around the world. Although it is a natural phenomenon and an ancient concept, antimicrobial resistance is considered a current global problem that remains challenging for health professionals in developed or developing countries, such as Brazil.
Excessive prescription and indiscriminate consumption of antibiotics accentuate the problem, contributing to the selection of bacterial pathogens carrying antibiotic resistance genes and expressing resistance to multiple classes of antimicrobial drugs in clinical use.
Resistant bacteria are common as a cause of infections acquired both in the hospital and in the community environment. From a One Health perspective, antimicrobial resistance has a strong negative impact on the health of people and the planet.
In this sense, we invite you to publish in the Special Issue “Antimicrobial Resistance from a One Health Perspective”, raising high-level discussions based on robust scientific results. Research articles and reviews addressing the following will be accepted:
- Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and new therapeutic approaches;
- New substances and molecules with antimicrobial action;
- Innovation in the detection of the antimicrobial resistance;
- Virulence strategies of clinically relevant bacteria;
- Clonal diversity and molecular epidemiology of bacterial pathogens;
- Urinary tract infection by antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
