Antimicrobial Activity of Plant-Derived Products and Synthetic Derivatives, 2nd Edition

This special issue belongs to the section “Plant-Derived Antibiotics“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The first volume of the Special Issue “Antimicrobial Activity of Plant-Derived Products and Synthetic Derivatives” was published in 2022. As it was a successful issue with twenty-two published papers, the editorial team encouraged us to introduce a second volume with the same topic.

This second volume intends to collect cutting-edge research and review works illustrating the potential of extracts and active principles obtained from plants, as well as their derivatives effective against microorganisms, with special attention to those with resistant phenotypes. It also aims to bring together pharmacognosists, chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, biologists, computer-aided drug design scientists and clinicians as a multidisciplinary team in the area of natural product use against pathogenic microorganisms.
