Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of the Special Issue “Advances in the Discovery of Novel Antimicrobial Agents in Nature and Their Applications” was published in 2023.
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antibiotics/special_issues/NO1R6W3900
It is a successful collection with nine excellent papers and has encouraged us to open a second edition covering the same topic. As a continuation of the first Special Issue, this second edition seeks articles regarding the discovery of novel natural antimicrobial agents and the investigation of their mechanisms of action (targeting new proteins, inhibitors of virulence factors, nanoparticles, antisense oligonucleotides, etc.). This Special Issue also welcomes the submission of manuscripts dealing with common applications of natural antimicrobial agents, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries and in smart packaging. We also welcome investigations on new and alternative applications, for instance the use of essential oils in the protection of cultural heritage.
