Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, quorum quenching for disrupting bacterial communication is a very important trend in microbiology research. In this Special Issue, I would like to invite everyone who deals with this subject, especially in terms of research related to antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents and their connection with natural compounds, to submit related articles. Growing multidrug resistance is an increasingly serious problem that we and future generations will face. Perhaps “overwhelming” microorganisms and limiting their virulence factors could be the solution? What are their molecular mechanisms of action? We encourage you to try to give an answer regarding possible future solutions in this area.
Dr. Emil Paluch
Guest Editor
