New Strategies for Antimicrobial Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to advancing the field of antimicrobial treatments by highlighting innovative strategies to counteract antimicrobial resistance. It aims to consolidate groundbreaking research on new antimicrobial agents, their unique mechanisms, and environmental implications. The Issue actively promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among microbiologists, pharmacologists, molecular biologists, and clinicians to hasten the transition of research findings into clinical applications. It seeks to widely disseminate cutting-edge findings to refine existing treatments and inspire the creation of novel therapeutic options. Contributions are invited on alternative therapies, resistance mechanisms, and combination therapies that enhance efficacy and minimize resistance development. The inclusion of diverse clinical trials and case studies will offer valuable insights into treatment effectiveness. Additionally, the Issue will emphasize the importance of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies for personalized medicine and robust preclinical research to support clinical trials.
