Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the new Special Issue "Beyond the Bench: Insights into Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Public Health" hosted by the Journal of Clinical Medicine, a peer-reviewed, open-access, interdisciplinary journal (more information at: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm).
In an era characterized by interconnected global threats, infectious disease epidemiology requires an evolution of surveillance models toward integrated approaches that transcend traditional clinical boundaries. The growing complexity of antimicrobial resistance and healthcare-associated infections now requires the adoption of multidisciplinary paradigms to harmonize scientific evidence with risk-oriented healthcare governance.
In line with the One Health vision, this Special Issue welcomes contributions that explore the inextricable link between individual health and the ecosystem, with particular reference to the hospital environment.
This collection welcomes contributions on crucial topics such as phenotypic surveillance and genotypic characterization of multidrug-resistant organisms, host adaptive response and immuno-prophylaxis.
Articles and reviews that address the multidisciplinary nature of these topics and their impact on public health will be welcome in the first edition of this Special Issue.
We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Dr. Antonella Arghittu
Guest Editor
