Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food contamination by foodborne pathogens represents one of the biggest current problems for society. Foodborne illness has an impact on health systems, and on the economy due to worker unavailability, and has an obvious impact on consumer health. Although several pathogen-inactivation strategies have been developed in recent years, both in food production processes and in human medicine, the fight against foodborne pathogens is similar to a race, wherein scientists develop inactivation strategies while bacteria develop means of survival to these methods. Thus, the study of antimicrobial resistance, resistance to physical and chemical methods of inactivation, and genetic components is crucial to ensure that we are in pole position. In this way, the present Special Issue aims to bring scientific contributions to the food microbiology field, in order to shed light on new methods of inactivation, virulence aspects, resistance and survivability to chemical and physical processes, and a microbiological perspective of contamination in epidemiologic studies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Antibiotics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2900 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
