Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Research on bacterial cell membranes”, focuses on studying bacterial membranes, bacterial extracellular vesicles (EVs), and mimetic membrane systems through biochemical, biophysical, and computational methods, including structural bioinformatics and omics strategies. Important aspects of this Special Issue include how the advances in bacterial membrane studies have assisted the design of selective antibacterial agents, the understanding of cell–cell interactions through EV secretion, and the modification of bacterial membrane components at the molecular level, including membrane proteins and lipids, for multidrug resistance events (spontaneous or induced).
This Special Issue aims to cover recent scientific contributions to the research on bacterial cell membranes, as well as review articles addressing the current advances and state of the art in this multidisciplinary field. Given your insightful works in the field, we invite you and your colleagues to contribute to this Special Issue, in which some leading experts will describe their works, ideas, and findings.

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. Membranes 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 2700 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.
