Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a current and relevant threat worldwide, affecting humans as well as livestock, pets, and wildlife. The spread of resistant bacterial strains compromises the effectiveness of previously effective antibiotics, making several common infections difficult to treat.
It has been estimated that AMR could become the leading global cause of death by 2050; therefore, control measures must be implemented. Monitoring the bacteria characterized by old and new antimicrobial resistance is pivotal to understanding the epidemiological situation in humans and animals in relation to different environments and geographical areas, in order to set up appropriate preventive measures.
This Special Issue aims to collect significant contributions regarding the factors that contribute to the emergence, dissemination, management, and control of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. Studies on the molecular mechanisms, clinical implications, and epidemiological dimensions of AMR are welcome.
We invite the researchers to contribute through research articles, reviews, short communications, and case reports.
Dr. Valentina Virginia Ebani
Guest Editor
