Editorial: Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in intracellular bacterial pathogens: a genomic and historical perspective

Year: 2026

Type: editorial

Abstract: In conclusion, the contributions to this Research Topic advance our understanding on how intracellular bacterial pathogens acquire, maintain, and disseminate resistance mechanisms.Nevertheless, existing data remain insufficient to draw definitive conclusions regarding the long-term evolutionary trajectories of AMR in these complex pathogens. Large-scale, longitudinal genomic and functional studies integrating clinical, veterinary, and environmental sampling will be essential to map resistance dynamics comprehensively and translate these mechanistic insights into improved therapeutic and surveillance strategies.
