Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rise of antibacterial resistance and the increasing prevalence of difficult-to-treat infections have posed significant challenges to global healthcare systems. With the overuse of traditional antibiotics, the development of innovative solutions to combat bacterial infections has become imperative. Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising frontier in this battle, offering unique advantages through the design and application of antibacterial nanomaterials. These nanomaterials possess exceptional properties, including unique structural and optical characteristics, controlled release capabilities, and the ability to target specific pathogens, making them highly effective for medicinal applications.
This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in antibacterial nanomaterials and their role in various medical fields. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the synthesis and characterization of novel nanomaterials, their mechanisms of antibacterial action, applications in drug delivery systems, wound healing, coatings for medical devices, and strategies to address toxicity and biocompatibility concerns. We invite contributions of research articles, reviews, and perspectives that highlight the potential of nanomaterials to revolutionize medicinal applications.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
