Recent Advances of Respiratory Infections, Second Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, “Recent Advances of Respiratory Infections”.

In this COVID-19 era, diagnostic methods and/or techniques for respiratory infections have been developed. However, these advanced methods, in turn, attract lots of attention for the principles or clinical pitfalls of handling patients with respiratory infections. In this Special Issue of Microorganisms, we invite you to submit contributions concerning any aspects related to respiratory infections, including respiratory viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In addition, we also welcome original research, review papers or case reports describing host–pathogen interactions (i.e., translational research), antimicrobial resistance, and virulence factors of pathogens in respiratory tract infections.
