Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Toxins are one of the most common virulence factors produced by different human pathogens. Moreover, toxins are used by bacteria to colonize different environments. Therefore, toxins can also be used as scaffolds to develop new antimicrobial treatments. This Special Issue will focus on the role of toxins and anti-toxin compounds in human health. We invite you to present the latest research in the field of toxins, treatments against them and any point of view that can highlight the importance of the use of some toxins as new scaffolds for antimicrobial treatments. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
