Evaluation of Emerging Antimicrobials, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The first edition of the Special Issue “Evaluation of Emerging Antimicrobials” was closed in the first half of 2025, and can be found at the following link: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antibiotics/special_issues/LR6JHE8B36.

It focused on antimicrobial agents in the treatment and prevention of infections, and its success has encouraged us to launch a second edition on the same topic. As a continuation of the first Special Issue, we aim to present new chemical agents (NCEs) and their antimicrobial evaluation against different microorganisms. It also encourages any novel advances in the mechanistic insights of known antimicrobial agents toward infections. We welcome research articles and reviews, including discussions of antimicrobial therapy, clinical strategies, and new antimicrobial agent discovery.

Dr. Dilep Kumar Sigalapalli
Guest Editor
