Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the very core of modern medicine and the sustainability of an effective, global public health response to the enduring threat from infectious diseases. As a global problem that poses a profound threat to human health, it needs to be addressed in multiple ways in order to guarantee successful treatments and the prevention of many different infectious diseases. To tackle the problems that antibiotic resistances pose, the 'One Health' approach is very promising because is designed to implementing programs, policies, legislation, and research in which multiple sectors communicate and work together to achieve better public health outcomes. Thus, as a significant part of the one health concept, this Research Topic aims at collecting and highlighting research involving multiple pieces of knowledge involved in AMR, in order to explore better strategies in combatting it and in obtaining improved public health outcomes.
We would like to receive Original Research as full manuscripts listing results of studies about:
1. Integrated One-Health surveillance systems,
2. Spread of antibiotic resistance genes in distinct niches,
3. Relationship between antimicrobial consumption in veterinary and/or human medicine and the emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
4. Spread of multidrug-resistant clones in humans and food-producing animals.
5. Interplay of antibiotic use in agricultural fields and acquisition of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
6. Impact of antibiotic consumption on contamination of soil and water leading to the selection of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.
The aim of the current Research Topic is to provide a wide view of antimicrobial resistance phenomena epidemiology with One Health perspective. We welcome contributions on any aspect of antimicrobial resistance and its interface among humans, food-producing animals, and the environment.
