Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The One Health concept makes it clear to us that apparently distant areas of study, such as the human clinical, food control, veterinary clinical or the environment, are intimately related and that there is a single health, breaking the previously set barriers. On the other hand, new genomic sequencing technologies are helping to shed new light on the understanding of the epidemiological relationship of bacteria in their different ecological niches. The practically generalized use of this technology due to its low cost and wide possibilities of use is contributing to an exponential increase in our knowledge.
This special issue of "Microorganims" collects original research articles and reviews on Bacterial genomics and epidemiology in a broad sense, covering its application to the study of bacteria present in ecosystems as diverse as human clinical, food control, veterinary clinical or environment.
Therefore, I encourage the scientific community working in the aforementioned areas of microbiology studying the epidemiology of bacteria using genomic technology to take the opportunity to publish their studies in this special issue.
