Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rise and dissemination of resistant bacteria and the improper use of antibiotics have led to increasing cases of antimicrobial resistance. The rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance can threaten public health and add an economic burden. Insufficient surveillance systems, a lack of appropriate policy, and poor publications regarding the use of antibiotics and its resistance pattern have complicated the exact scenario of antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, the search for novel alternatives of antibiotics is inevitable. In recent years, several effective strategies have been introduced to discover novel antibiotics from uncultured microorganisms, in addition to phage therapy and endolysin as alternatives of antibiotics. This Special Issue includes studies regarding antimicrobial resistance in Asia, with the aim of discovering novel antibiotics from uncultured microbes, bacteriophage, and endolysins.
