Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to a Special Issue of Antibiotics named Molecular Mechanism of Antibiotic Resistance in Microbial Biofilms. This Special Issue will collect all knowledge relating the molecular mechanism in biofilm resistance. Biofilms, as complex bacterial structures, have implications for the clinical and microbiological diagnosis of infections that are not straightforward, and treatment failures and recurrences are common. Studying new molecules that are more effective against these structures, as well as understanding the resistance mechanisms that occur under these specific conditions, is very important as bacterial biofilms protect bacteria from external physical and chemical changes.
