Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance, bacterial infectious disease remains a severe threat to human health. Combat against bacterial infectious disease requires extensive knowledge of bacterial pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance. The last decade has witnessed advances in genome sequencing, accompanied by the development of the related fields of genomics and systems biology, which has greatly facilitated bacterial research.
This Special Issue encourages the submission of original research, perspectives, and (mini)reviews that focus on the exploration of the mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance at the whole genome level. Topics related to genome-based pathogen surveillance and epidemiological studies are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Pathogens is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
