Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock has become an increasingly critical issue, posing significant challenges to both animal health and public health. In Germany, extensive research efforts have been dedicated to monitoring antimicrobial usage, identifying and characterizing resistance mechanisms, and developing innovative strategies for AMR mitigation within animal husbandry. This Special Issue aims to bring together scientific advancements and practical approaches addressing AMR in livestock in the German context. We welcome original research articles and reviews focusing on antimicrobial stewardship, surveillance programs, molecular epidemiology of resistant pathogens, alternatives to antibiotics, and One Health perspectives linking animal, human, and environmental health. Through this collection, we hope to provide an up-to-date reference for researchers, veterinarians, and stakeholders engaged in combating AMR in livestock in Germany.
