Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of medical microbiology has witnessed significant advancements, integrating both traditional and cutting-edge techniques. Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Digital Droplet PCR, and Next-Generation Sequencing represent some of the significant improvements introduced for research and diagnostics of infections responsible for human diseases.
Novel strategies for surveillance and antimicrobial and antiviral stewardship programs could represent advancements in medical microbiology as well. In addition, it is very likely that artificial intelligence systems, including large language models (LLMs), will play a role in the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs), emerging and re-emerging pathogens, and infection in transplant recipients and other immunocompromised individuals all represent areas that might benefit from these new approaches, potentially allowing more effective and reliable outcomes.
This Special Issue welcomes original scientific research articles, reviews, reports, and communications related to these topics.
Dr. Alberto Rizzo
