Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are considered an important aim for public health. This is due to their high morbidity, mainly represented by the sequelae on reproductive tract infections, risk of cancer and congenital abnormalities as well as the unfavorable outcomes in immunosupressed patients.
On this basis, the knowledge of local epidemiology is the milestone for a universally standardized approach to STIs. Moreover, systematic surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility and/or testing of specific isolates for susceptibility to the antimicrobial agents provide crucial information for physicians to avoid a treatment failure.
This Special Issue aims to expand the current knowledge on sexually transmitted infections in different stages and on its possible therapeutic exploitation. We aim to address the key roles of mechanisms of infection susceptibility, clinical presentation, and outcomes. Brief reports, reviews, and clinical studies are welcome for consideration.
Prof. Dr. Alessandro Russo
Guest Editor
