Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue includes in vitro and in vivo studies of the antifungal activity and associated properties of products obtained from native, medicinal, and ornamental plants such as sequential and total extracts, essential oils, resinous exudates, and derivatives of secondary metabolites contained in these products, such as semisynthetic compounds, hybrids, and analogues. With the aim of finding solutions in free state and/or more effective nanoformulates, with less adverse effects and a greater bioavailability of the active principle to face pathologies of fungal origin that increase their incidence year after year affecting humans at clinical, agricultural, and animal levels in pathogenic fungoid that affect productive animals such as bees, salmon, and cattle.
We welcome authors to contribute original articles and reviews that delve into the latest advancements in antimicrobial agents, adjuvants, and drug delivery systems, with a special emphasis on the role of nanotechnology in revolutionizing the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.
