Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen known for its antibiotic resistance and ability to form biofilms, the latter of which poses significant challenges in clinical settings, contributing to increased antibiotic resistance and persistence. This Special Issue of Antibiotics aims to present leading-edge research, discuss recent advancements, and understand the molecular basis of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in S. aureus.
We will present several aspects related to the mechanisms of biofilm formation in S. aureus, strategies for inhibiting these biofilms, the impact their formation on S. aureus’s antibiotic resistance, and novel therapeutic approaches to treat multidrug-resistant S. aureus.
Dr. Harshad Lade
Guest Editor
