Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first volume of the Special Issue “Strategies for Combatting Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Bacteria: Current Challenges and Future Prospects ” was published in October 2023. It is a successful issue with nine published papers, encouraging us to open a second volume on the same topic.
As a continuation of the first Special Issue, this second volume will also focus on new strategies, including those that are not only related to novel antimicrobial drugs, but also those related to uncommon drug strategies. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- MDR bacteria;
- EDR bacteria;
- Novel antimicrobial drugs;
- Novel therapeutical approaches against MDR;
- Novel therapeutical approaches against EDR;
- Guidelines;
- Personalized microbiota;
- Bacteriophages;
- Autovaccine therapy;
- Antimicrobial stewardship.
