Advances in Phage Therapies

Dear Colleagues,

Microorganisms invites researchers to contribute to a Special Issue dedicated to research advances in phage therapy, a promising approach to combating microbial infections.

We welcome original research, reviews, and communications covering various aspects of phage therapy. Topics of interest include phage discovery, characterization, engineering, and clinical applications. Studies elucidating phage–host interactions, viral replication, and evolution will provide insights into phage biology.

Furthermore, investigations into phage-based strategies for controlling bacterial pathogens, such as biofilm eradication, antimicrobial resistance mitigation, and targeted delivery systems, are highly encouraged. Research addressing safety, efficacy, and regulatory considerations will contribute to the translation of phage therapy into clinical practice.

By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue aims to drive the development of novel phage-based therapies for personalized and targeted microbial control.

Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
