Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The first edition of the Special Issue “Antimicrobial Resistance Mechanisms and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes of Pathogens” was published in 2023: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/antibiotics/special_issues/resistance_genes_antibiotics.
It is a successful collection with nine excellent papers and has encouraged us to open a second edition with the same topic. As a continuation of the first Special Issue, this second edition aims to seek manuscript submissions that offer insights into the surveillance, epidemiology, biochemistry, genetics and genomics of antimicrobial resistance genes and associated mobile genetic elements.
