Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, a growing body of evidence has indicated that the food production chain may play a key role in the transmission of antimicrobial resistance among microorganisms present in food. Therefore, great efforts have been made to redirect antibiotic therapies in primary production, and extensive work has also been developed to try to understand at what points in the food chain the antimicrobial resistance transmission can be controlled and reduced. Likewise, new therapeutic and animal management strategies have also been developed that promote reduction in the use of antibiotics. This Special Issue welcomes both research and review papers on the most recent and innovative developments of antibiotics and antimicrobial resistance in foods. We hope the Special Issue can further encourage and promote scientific contributions of researchers in this field.
