Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foodborne pathogens pose persistent threats to global food safety and public health. This Special Issue seeks high-quality research on advanced detection technologies, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms, and innovative intervention strategies.
We particularly welcome studies on the following topics:
(1) Rapid and multiplex detection platforms, including CRISPR-Cas-based diagnostics, portable biosensors, microfluidic chips, and AI-assisted non-targeted screening technologies;
(2) AMR surveillance and risk assessment, focusing on high-risk resistance genes and their transmission dynamics;
(3) Novel antimicrobial solutions, such as phage therapy, endolysin, antimicrobial peptides and probiotics. Interdisciplinary approaches integrating multi-omics, nanotechnology, and computational modeling to develop comprehensive prevention strategies are strongly encouraged.

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. Foods is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
