Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ongoing battle against microbial pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, continues to challenge global health systems, particularly in the face of rising antimicrobial resistance. This Special Issue of Microorganisms invites groundbreaking research and comprehensive reviews that advance our understanding and treatment of microbial infections. Contributions may explore novel therapeutic strategies, including drug development, the repurposing of existing antivirals, antibacterial and antifungal agents, innovative combination therapies, and alternative approaches such as phage therapy and immune modulation.
We particularly welcome studies employing cutting-edge methodologies, such as in silico modeling, high-throughput screening, and omics technologies, to identify potential antimicrobial targets and optimize therapeutic interventions. Submissions addressing the mechanisms of resistance, host–pathogen interactions, or the clinical translation of antimicrobial agents are also encouraged.
This Issue showcases diverse perspectives and innovative solutions, aiming to inspire collaboration and accelerate progress in combating infectious diseases, ultimately contributing to improved global health outcomes.
