Riding horses were examined for antimicrobial resistant (AMR), potentially human pathogenic, E. coli isolates All animals had close contact with humans and are now suspected of being a potential reservoir in spreading virulent pathotypes.

The most common health problems of UK dogs in 2016 were dental disease, ear infections, and obesity, according to VetCompass data.
The ARRIVE guidelines for reporting in vivo animal research have recently been updated to support their use in practice. View the new ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines here.

Combatting veterinary antimicrobial resistance (AMR)
Our new guest edited collection welcomes research into the combatting of antimicrobial resistance in helminths, fungi, bacteria, virus and protozoa.
This collection is open to submissions until March 2022.

Introducing two new Guidelines to our COHA: CTSA One Health Alliance Collection:
- A CTSA One Health Alliance guidance on institutional review of veterinary clinical studies
In recognition of World Patient Safety Awareness day on 17th September, the BMC Series presents a focus issue on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research. We have collated free-to-read content from across our journals - showcasing patient perspectives, research into the study of PPI, and engaging public partners as co-authors in research.
In celebration of World Breastfeeding week in the beginning of August, the BMC Series presents a focus issue on Breastfeeding. We have collated open-access content from across our journals to highlight research into breastfeeding behaviors and care for lactating women, infant and child health, biology of breastfeeding, and more.
We are pleased to announce the launch of two new sections in BMC Veterinary Research:
- Animal ethics, policy and research integrity
- Zoological and wildlife medicine
Veterinary antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use
Critically Appraised Topics on Adverse Food Reactions
Autoimmune and Immune-mediated Skin Diseases of Animals
International Veterinary Epilepsy Task Force Consensus Reports
International Committee on Allergic Diseases of Animals (ICADA) Consenus and Guideline Papers
COHA: CTSA One Health Alliance

Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.
You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences).
More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.

Over 500 institutions have partnered with us to help authors maximize their research funding. Researchers affiliated with these member institutions may receive a discount on article processing charges (APCs). Check to see if your institution is a member and learn how you could benefit from APC savings when publishing with us.
The Meridian Network is home to a collection of reporting guidelines and checklists for research that involve animals. The checklists are intended as an aid for authors to clearly, completely and transparently let reviewers and readers know what they did and found. We encourage our authors to adhere to these standards.
