Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advances in medical science have resulted in improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of patients that would have been considered incurable in the past.
Currently, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria is a cause for great concern. Early detection and effective therapy are the main goals to consider when treating an infected patient. Recent advances in infectious disease epidemiology have been crucial to our understanding and personalized management of infectious diseases.
Some pivotal developments include genomics, math models, machine learning and artificial intelligence, global health approaches, surveillance systems, vaccination strategies, antibiotic stewardship programs, and social science strategies.
These advances have contributed to an effective response to infectious disease outbreaks and pandemics such as COVID-19.
Given the complexity of the infectious response, it is unlikely that a single approach will be sufficient to identify the interaction of different factors that are involved in emerging infectious diseases. Better strategies are necessary to prevent or diminish the collateral effects of pandemics. Educating and training healthcare workers are effective strategies for combating the dissemination and transmission of infectious agents.
This Special Issue aims to collate evidence regarding the epidemiology of infections. Infectious diseases are a persistent challenge for both clinicians and researchers.
We hope that this Special Issue will stimulate work on improving methodologies for the detection and treatment of infections by providing comprehensive discussions so that we can achieve early diagnoses and thus reduce complications.
