Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antibiotic resistance in pathogens is a major public health concern. The risk of mortality increases significantly when infections are caused by highly antibiotic-resistant organisms. However, antibiotic resistance is not limited to pathogens isolated from humans; it is also found in those isolated from both domestic and wild animals, as well as from environmental sources such as water, food and other vectors. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture and veterinary practice has contributed to a dramatic rise in resistance, reaching levels that were once thought unimaginable. Due to its profound impact on global health, antibiotic resistance is now recognized as a silent pandemic.
Considering these challenges, this Special Issue aims to advance the field by highlighting the most relevant and novel research on epidemiology, mechanisms and strategies for the eradication of antibiotic-resistant pathogens isolated from humans, animals and the environment within the One Health framework.
We warmly invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. We are excited about the opportunity to share your valuable research with our readers and the broader scientific community.
