Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global rise in multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms pose one of the most critical challenges in modern medicine, compromising the effectiveness of conventional antibiotic therapies and threatening patient outcomes. This Special Issue, titled “Multidrug-Resistant Microorganisms: Overcoming the Challenges in Antibiotic Treatment,” provides a comprehensive platform for cutting-edge research on the mechanisms, detection, and therapeutic strategies targeting MDR pathogens. By bridging fundamental research with translational applications, this collection aims to advance our understanding of microbial resistance evolution and to inspire the development of innovative and effective interventions. Ultimately, this Special Issue highlights the urgent need for multidisciplinary collaboration to safeguard the future of infectious disease management and global public health.
We invite submissions that present innovative strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance, including the development of novel antimicrobial agents, combination therapies, phage-based interventions, immunomodulatory approaches, and advanced diagnostic technologies. Contributions may include original research or comprehensive reviews that advance these themes and support the global effort to understand, prevent, and overcome MDR microorganisms.
