Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Respiratory tract infections are a major threat of morbidity and mortality, especially among children, and in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, they have come into major focus in the scientific world and the public. It is for this reason that we have decided to launch a new Special Issue on “Respiratory Tract Infections in Children”, to which we are inviting scientists with a pediatric and/or infectious disease background to submit manuscripts dealing with clinical as well as experimental data. Recent clinical data demonstrating the role of pathogens and pathogen interaction in the respiratory tract are particularly welcome. This Special Issue also aims to shed light on the cellular and molecular interaction between pathogens and the host, as well as viral–viral and bacterial–viral interaction. Finally, the role of respiratory microbiome is in this context also of particular interest.
Both original research and review articles are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contribution to Pathogens.
With kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Tobias Tenenbaum
Guest Editor
