Antimicrobials and Antimicrobial Resistance
A section of Microbiology Research (ISSN 2036-7481).
Section Information
The relationship between microbes and antimicrobials lies at the core of modern microbiology and public health. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global challenge driven by selective pressures that shape microbial evolution and ecology. Understanding the mechanisms by which microorganisms acquire, maintain, and disseminate resistance genes is crucial for preserving the efficacy of therapeutic and preventive measures. This section focuses on the molecular and epidemiological dynamics that govern the interaction between pathogens and antimicrobial compounds. Articles highlighting surveillance systems, stewardship initiatives, resistance mechanisms, or the development of novel anti-infective strategies are welcomed. Interdisciplinary studies integrating genomics, bioinformatics, and pharmacology to explore innovative approaches against resistant microbes are particularly encouraged.
