Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The excessive use of antibiotics has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The United Nations estimates that the number of deaths caused by AMR could reach up to 10 million per year by 2050. In recognition of this pressing global crisis, it is with great privilege that we introduce a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Green Synthesis of Antimicrobials and Their Applications,” with a particular emphasis on the pivotal role played by fermentation.
In alignment with our steadfast commitment to addressing this critical public health challenge, this Special Issue serves as a platform for unveiling emerging trends and breakthroughs within the domain of innovative natural antimicrobials. At its core, this compilation advocates the integration of green chemistry principles, in conjunction with the adoption of sustainable feedstock and methodologies, for the synthesis of these essential antimicrobial agents. Amidst this pursuit, it is imperative to underscore the inseparable connection between the science of antimicrobial potency and the principles of environmental stewardship.
Our endeavor bears substantial significance due to our emphasis on the catalytic role of fermentation in the synthesis of these remarkable antimicrobials. As an exemplar of sustainable production, fermentation resonates harmoniously with the principles of green synthesis. Thus, we extend an invitation to scholars, researchers, and practitioners to share their profound insights into the synergy of fermentation techniques with antimicrobial synthesis.
This Special Issue aims to focus on new trends and developments in novel natural antimicrobials synthesized using green chemistry or other sustainable feedstock or methods. In addition, applications demonstrating the use of novel antimicrobials or in vitro and in vivo toxicity studies are in line with this Issue. Research papers or reviews are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fermentation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs).
