Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue "Bacterial Infections and Antibiotic Resistance in Veterinary Medicine".

Bacterial infections are a prominent issue in veterinary medicine, whether in livestock, pets, aquiculture or wildlife. In the genomic era, researchers are continuously improving diagnostic approaches and enhancing epidemiologic knowledge of bacterial pathogens, particularly emerging ones. Zoonotic pathogens remain a problem and have adapted to newer relationships formed between humans and animals and the evolution of animal production systems. Associated with the global burden of antimicrobial resistance, the treatment and prevention of diseases have also led to challenges for some pathogens and hosts.

For this Special Issue of Microorganisms, we welcome contributions that provide recent insights into animal bacterial diseases in the context of One Health, as well as antimicrobial use and associated antimicrobial resistance. We seek original research, short communications, and reviews regarding all aspects of diagnosis, epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, and disease impact, as well as recent treatment and prevention approaches.

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. Microorganisms 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 2700 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.

Pasteurella multocida (PM), Glaesserella parasuis (GPS), and Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) are among the species with the top five isolation rates on Chinese pig farms annually. To understand the antimicrobial susceptibility and genotypes of these three pathogens that are currently prevalent on pig farms, we investigated 151 bacterial strains (64 PM, 48 GPS, and 39 APP) isolated from 4190 samples from farms in 12 Chinese provinces between 2021 and 2023. The prevalent serotypes were PM type D (50.0%), GPS type 5/12 (47.92%), and APP type 7 (35.90%). A relatively high proportion of PM and APP were resistant to ampicillin (PM, 93.75%; APP, 71.79%), tilmicosin (PM, 64.06%; APP, 58.97%), tetracycline (PM, 43.75%; APP, 61.54%), and enrofloxacin (PM, 34.38%; APP, 10.26%). Ampicillin, tetracycline, and enrofloxacin exhibited low MIC90 values against GPS (8 µg/mL), while sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim had a high MIC90 value (512 µg/mL). A total of 18 genes conferring resistance to various antimicrobial classes were identified, and tet(L), tet(M), tet(A), blaTEM, sul2, aph(3′)-Ia, dfrA12, qnrS1, strA, sul3, and mef(B) exhibited a high frequency of identification (≥70%). The analysis of regular virulence factor genes showed that several genes, including fimB, fimA, fimD, fimF, and fepG, were found in all PM, GPS, and APP strains. However, certain genes exhibited species-specific preferences, even if they belonged to the same category. Full article
