Genomic Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance and Evolution Mechanism of Bacteria, 2nd Edition
This special issue belongs to the section "Mechanism and Evolution of Antibiotic Resistance".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of the Special Issue “Genomic Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance and Evolution Mechanism of Bacteria” has been closed. It is a successful collection with 11 excellent papers published. This encouraged us to open a second edition on the same topic.
As a continuation of the first Special Issue, this second edition aims to foster a comprehensive understanding of the genetic underpinnings of bacterial antimicrobial resistance and the evolutionary dynamics that underlie these adaptations. Researchers working in this field are encouraged to submit their best manuscript(s) to this Special Issue.
