Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases remain a significant global health challenge, driven by evolving microbial pathogens and increasing antimicrobial resistance. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the laboratory diagnosis and epidemiology of clinical microbial infections. We welcome contributions that explore emerging pathogens, novel diagnostic technologies, resistance mechanisms and epidemiological trends. By highlighting these aspects, this issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of infectious disease dynamics and support the development of more effective strategies for the management of clinical microbial infections.
