Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue seeks to offer a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the field of antimicrobial agents and resistance within the USA. We invite American researchers from related fields in the USA to submit papers that highlight recent developments in this area. Contributions may include original research articles and 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 conducted in the USA and to provide a platform to advance the design and testing of antimicrobial agents and modeling of their interactions to combat antimicrobial resistance.
