Abstract:In recent years, the widespread prevalence of emergence infectious disease has brought unprecedented challenges to human life, social stability and economic development. The prevention and control of zoonoses have become a global focus. The important role of Veterinary Microbiology in public health and human health is highly valued. In order to showcase the latest research and application achievements in the field of zoonotic pathogenic bacteria (diseases), Microbiology China has organized the publication of the “Issue for Zoonotic Bacteria”, which includes reviews and research reports. The review summarizes the latest research advances and achievements of major zoonotic pathogens’ epidemic situation, the regulation of effector molecules, the discovery of diagnostic markers, and the exploration of new vaccine antigens; The research reports cover the development of pathogen diagnosis technology, cell culture and identification, probiotic isolation and identification, bacteriophage isolation and identification, molecular functional exploration, infection and immunity, etc. This thematic issue provides a communication platform for the development and progress of Veterinary Microbiology in China, and better promotes the exploration of new technologies and theories for the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases.
