Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rise of antimicrobial resistance has led to the inefficacy of drugs and persistent infections, which consequently increase the risk of severe illness and the spread of disease. To combat antimicrobial resistance, an integrated approach that includes vaccines and antibiotics is needed. Vaccines play a crucial role in preventing infections caused by resistant bacteria, thereby reducing the reliance on antibiotics and slowing the spread of resistance.
This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of advancements in the development of bacterial vaccines targeting antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. The scope of this Special Issue includes the following topics: (i) novel technologies and approaches to the production of bacteria vaccines, (ii) vaccination-induced immune responses, (iii) mucosal vaccines and vaccination, and (iv) the use of vaccines as tools for combating antimicrobial resistance. We welcome the submission of research papers, short communications, and reviews related to these topics.
