Recent Advances in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, veterinary pharmacology and toxicology should be regarded as disciplines contributing to the “One Health” paradigm, reducing risk at the animal–human ecosystem. The use of antibiotics plays a crucial role in maintaining the safety, health, and rapid development of the animal husbandry industry. In the past 30 years, the fields of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology have experienced rapid development and achieved a series of important results. For example, in 2015, Chinese scientists from the fields of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology first discovered the colistin resistance gene MCR-1. Currently, the development of new veterinary drugs and the rational use of existing antibacterial drugs are hot topics in this field, and some progress has been made in recent years. Therefore, we call on scientists in this field to submit their latest research, including but not limited to bacterial resistance, combination therapy, drug toxicology and molecular mechanisms, and new drug development. We hope to attract more scholars to veterinary pharmacology and toxicology and promote the exchange and development of these disciplines through this Topic.
