Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enteric infections remain a critical public health concern globally, caused by a variety of pathogens including Arcobacter spp., Campylobacter spp., Salmonella enterica, Clostridioides difficile, Yersinia spp., E. coli pathovars, and Shigella spp. These pathogens are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in vulnerable populations. Understanding the epidemiology of these diseases is essential for effective prevention and control strategies. Recent advancements in diagnostic assays, proteomics, and genomics have enhanced our ability to identify and characterize these pathogens, shedding light on their pathomechanism.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge research that enhances our understanding of enteric infections. We invite contributions that explore recent advancements in proteomics, genomics, and the elucidation of pathomechanisms associated with enteric pathogens. We are particularly interested in studies that shed light on the epidemiology of these infections, including novel outbreaks, transmission dynamics, and resistance patterns. By bringing together diverse perspectives and innovative methodologies, this issue seeks to foster a comprehensive understanding of enteric diseases and their impact on public health.
We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case reports of extraordinary cases that provide unique insights into enteric infections. Submissions that integrate multidisciplinary approaches or present novel findings related to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of enteric pathogens are especially encouraged. This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and contribute to the collective knowledge that can inform future research and public health strategies. We look forward to receiving your submissions and advancing the field of enteric infections research together.

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. Microorganisms 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 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
