Advancements in the Control and Diagnosis of Antimicrobial Resistance in Infectious Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

The global increase in antimicrobial and antiviral resistance poses a significant threat to human efforts to combat infectious diseases. The importance of proper stewardship in addressing antimicrobial and antiviral resistance is becoming increasingly evident. Understanding the mechanisms underlying antimicrobial and antiviral resistance, as well as developing advanced laboratory diagnostics for early detection, is crucial for effectively controlling and preventing these resistance phenomena.

For this Special Issue, we invite research contributions addressing the following themes:

1. Epidemiology of antimicrobial and antiviral resistance;
2. Viral infection in immunocompromised patients;
3. Control and prevention of antimicrobial and antiviral resistance;
4. Strategies of antimicrobial stewardship to combat antimicrobial and antiviral resistance;
5. Advanced laboratory diagnostics of antimicrobial and antiviral resistance;
6. Mechanism of antimicrobial resistance antiviral resistance.

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. Antibiotics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
