Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the golden era of antibiotic discovery (e.g. 1940s through the 1960s), effective antibiotics were frequently discovered and introduced to the market. Now antimicrobial resistance is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. One of the proposed solutions to circumvent this crisis is to bring novel antimicrobial compounds into clinical use.
This Special Issue of Antibiotics titled ‘Featured Reviews in Genetics or Biochemical Research for Antimicrobials’ deals with all aspects of antimicrobials, from their discovery to their structural and functional characterization on microbes, as well as their evaluation in clinical trials. Prospective contributors are encouraged to submit their best review articles in this important and relevant field of scientific research.
