Advances in Human Pathogen Control—a 21st Century Challenge 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence and reemergence of pathogens and the steep increase in resistance to available antimicrobials pose huge challenges to human health worldwide. Adequate responses to this challenge require a holistic approach, integrating advances in fundamental knowledge of pathogen biology and host–pathogen interactions to understand how to stop pathogens spreading, together with omics and bioinformatics to unveil druggable targets and the development of novel antimicrobials and immune-based therapies to control pathogens. This Topic aims to gather contributions ranging from basic biology, biochemistry, the genetics and genomics of human pathogens, and the omics and bioinformatics identification of targets of potential interest for drug development to contributions on the development of novel antimicrobials and new immune-based therapies to control pathogens. Papers on human host–pathogen interactions and related topics are also welcome.
