Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The One Health approach addresses foodborne pathogens by integrating human, animal, and environmental health perspectives to enhance public health outcomes. This framework acknowledges that foodborne pathogens, such as Salmonella and Campylobacter, circulate across these interconnected domains, evolving through gene transfer and adapting to antimicrobial agents used in agriculture and medicine. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in these pathogens poses a significant threat, as resistant strains can spread between animals, humans, and environments, complicating treatment efforts and exacerbating health risks. By adopting a One Health perspective, researchers and policymakers aim to monitor and mitigate AMR and pathogen transmission through coordinated surveillance, safer agricultural practices, and targeted interventions. This comprehensive view highlights the need for cross-sector collaboration to address food safety, develop effective prevention strategies, and ensure sustainable approaches to antimicrobial use.
