The gap

Evidence profile

Sourced from the stated research gap and future-work section and stated challenges of the source papers, classified as general, spanning 3 journals.

Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• Antimicrobial Resistance in Veterinary Bacterial Pathogens: Resistance Patterns, Zoonotic Risks and One Health Implications (2026) · Pathogens · doi

  The available evidence on antimicrobial resistance in veterinary bacterial pathogens remains heterogeneous across animal species, production systems, and geographic regions. There is a need for integrated monitoring systems and antimicrobial stewardship programs to mitigate the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens. The paper identifies a gap in the understanding of resistance mechanisms and epidemiological trends in veterinary bacterial pathogens.

• Antimicrobial Resistance in Veterinary Bacterial Pathogens: Resistance Patterns, Zoonotic Risks and One Health Implications (2026) · Pathogens · doi

  Integration of non-antibiotic approaches with stewardship programs may significantly reduce antimicrobial reliance and slow MDR propagation - Emerging technologies, such as nanotechnology-based drug delivery and CRISPR-Cas antimicrobials, enable targeted elimination of resistance genes - Further research is needed to understand the epidemiological trends and resistance mechanisms in veterinary bacterial pathogens

• Antimicrobial Resistance in E. coli and Salmonella spp. Across Romanian Animal–Food–Environment Interfaces: Current Evidence and One Health Knowledge Gaps (2026) · Microorganisms · doi

  There is a lack of standardized cross-sector surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in E. coli and Salmonella spp. The paper identifies a need for expanded genomic epidemiology to better understand the spread of resistant bacteria. There is also a gap in understanding the role of environmental compartments in the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

• Isolation and Whole-Genome Analysis of Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli from Diarrheic Fecal Samples in a Sheep Farm in Ningxia, China (2026) · Pakistan Veterinary Journal · doi

  The growing scale of livestock production and frequent use of antibiotics in animal farming have accelerated the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant E. coli. The transmission and spread of multidrug-resistant E. coli in livestock production is not well understood. There is a need to develop strategies to prevent and control the spread of multidrug-resistant E. coli.
