Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance is recognized as one of the most serious global public health threats today. The emergence and rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance significantly limits the effective prevention and treatment of various infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. This phenomenon not only endangers human and animal health, but also imposes significant economic costs. Therefore, it is of great importance to recognize and describe in detail the mechanisms and actors that enable resistance to antimicrobials in pathogenic microorganisms. Additionally, knowledge of the potential regulators of antimicrobial resistance is of inestimable importance. The discovery of novel participants and intracellular or extracellular regulators of antimicrobial resistance could reveal potential drug targets, as well as steer antimicrobial drugs development in a direction that will enable more effective therapies against pathogens that pose significant threats to healthcare systems worldwide.
