Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Antibiotics Special Issue “Antibiotic or Antibiotic Adjuvant Synthesis and Antimicrobial Evaluation” will discuss the chemistry involved in the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds, whether unnatural or issued from marine organisms, plants, etc. The structure–activity relationships of these molecules will also be examined to demonstrate the wide interest of the chemists to mimic Nature or design totally synthetic compounds. This Special Issue is intended for chemists and biologists with an interest in the fight against antibiotic resistance with new classes of antibiotics or antibiotic adjuvants which are able to restore the activity of inactive antibiotics
