Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the application of molecular diagnostics in infectious diseases. We aim for it to provide an in-depth analysis of the latest research and clinical practices using molecular techniques to detect and identify microorganisms causing infectious diseases. We welcome articles that discuss the potential of molecular diagnostics in areas such as virus detection, antibiotic resistance profiling, and the genotyping of bacterial strains. We hope that this Special Issue will assist infectious disease professionals in understanding and utilizing molecular diagnostics to optimize patient care and infection control.
