Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance is an urgent global health problem that requires urgent attention to slow the spread of resistant pathogens. The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has emphasized clinician-driven antimicrobial stewardship approaches, including the reporting and proper documentation of antimicrobial usage and resistance.
This Special Issue is designed to offer a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in antimicrobial agents and resistance within Germany.
We, therefore, invite German researchers from related fields to submit papers that highlight recent developments in this area. Contributions may include original research articles about bacterial and fungal resistance but also about antimicrobial therapy, including non-antibiotic approaches such as antimicrobial peptides or bacteriophages, as well as comprehensive reviews. We also encourage the invitation of relevant experts and colleagues to contribute, ensuring a diverse and cutting-edge collection of work. This Special Issue aims to showcase the innovative research being conducted in Germany and provide a platform for further advancements in the field of antimicrobial agents and resistance.
Dr. Catalina-Suzana Stingu
