Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical isolates of microorganisms are continuously exhibiting high rates of antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics worldwide, leading to public health concerns regarding healthcare-associated infections and community-associated infections. The treatment options for antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms, including Enterobacteriaceae, glucose non-fermenting bacteria, and Gram-positive bacteria, are often limited. As a result, we need to develop alternative treatment strategies, instead of empirical prescriptions, to combat antimicrobial resistance and prevent its spread by accurately characterizing bacterial profiles indicating antimicrobial susceptibility, resistant determinants, and epidemiological genotypes.
For this Special Issue, we will accept submissions reporting on emerging and re-emerging pathogens and antimicrobial resistance, including epidemiological aspects, the spread of high-risk clones, and the molecular mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance and virulence and increasing resistance to new and old antibiotics.
