Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled "Development of Vaccines against Bacterial Infections" aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in the field of vaccine development against bacterial infections. Bacterial infections continue to pose significant challenges to public health worldwide, with the emergence of antibiotic resistance. The re-emergence of vaccine-preventable diseases during the post-antibiotic era highlights the urgent need for novel vaccine strategies. This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to bacterial vaccine development, including advances in vaccine design, mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, the preclinical and clinical evaluation of vaccine candidates, the use of bacteria in vaccine development, and strategies for vaccine delivery and formulation. Contributions from leading researchers and experts in the field will provide insights into the latest scientific advancements, challenges, and opportunities in the development of vaccines against bacterial infections. The goal of this Special Issue is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among scientists, clinicians, policymakers, and industry stakeholders to accelerate the development of effective vaccines that can mitigate the burden of bacterial diseases and improve global health outcomes.
