Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antibiotic resistance is a global health problem in the world. The increase in the number of microbial strains that have become resistant to antibiotics worldwide and the lack, in some cases, of new therapeutics is worrisome. To this day, the World Health Organization continually warns of this threat and encourages the development of new strategies and alternatives to antibiotics to combat drug resistance.
In general, probiotics are represented as a potential alternative for antibiotics to control and prevent the spread of pathogenic bacteria. Strains belonging to lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium are commonly used as probiotics. These bacteria can produce various antimicrobial agents, such as Bacteriocins, that exert strong antagonistic activity against different pathogenic microbes including Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli, etc. Saccharomyces boulardii is the only commercially available probiotic yeast and is often used as a probiotic for countering intestinal inflammatory processes.
This Special Issue aims to collect research or review articles related to bacteria and fungi probiotics of different origin with a focus on the antimicrobial peptides (AMP) of probiotics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
