Antibacterial, Antifungal, and Antiviral Bioactive Compounds from Natural Products, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the increasing prevalence of life-threatening bacterial, fungal and viral infections, and the ability of these human pathogens to develop resistance to current drugs, there is an urgent need to find new compounds in order to combat them. Natural products are an excellent source for novel antimicrobial drug development. This Special Issue, entitled “Antibacterial and Antiviral Bioactive Compounds from Natural Products, 2nd Edition”, is a new edition of "Antibacterial and Antiviral Bioactive Compounds from Natural Products". It aims to report the latest and most promising natural compounds employed to combat bacteria, fungi and viruses, and the underlying modes of action implicated. It is hoped that this Special Issue will serve as a timely reference for researchers who are interested in the discovery of potentially useful natural products for the development of novel antimicrobial drugs.
