Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomaterials for dentures, dental implants, artificial joints, cements, etc., used in dentistry and orthopedics should allow recovery of basic functions, be resistant to infections from a variety of pathogens (including bacteria and fungi), and demonstrate benign interactions with human cells.
The latest generation of molecular imaging techniques (fluorescence imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, Raman imaging, etc.) enables researchers to visualize the location of the infection and to scrutinize the metabolism of pathogens (including viruses, parasites, bacteria, and fungi) in their interaction with biomaterials. Such microscopic insights are key to understanding the molecular mechanisms of infection and defense.
This Special Issue welcomes research on new antibacterial materials and molecular imaging that visualizes the molecular mechanisms of infection in dental and orthopedic research.

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.
