Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious and non-infectious diseases usually lead to inflammatory responses in various tissues and organs in humans and animals, severely affecting the health of the host. A number of microorganisms originating from animals, plants, and soil have been shown to have excellent anti-inflammatory efficacy and are being used in human clinical and animal production in a progressive manner. Currently, the number of known anti-inflammatory bacteria strains is limited, mainly due to the inaccessibility of large numbers of difficult-to-culture microorganisms by conventional means. In addition, many of the potential anti-inflammatory bacteria strains that have been obtained have not been functionally validated in cell culture and animals.
This Research Topic is to provide a platform for presenting and discussing the cutting-edge research on all aspects of screening, functional evaluation, and mechanism elucidation of anti-inflammatory bacteria strains. We welcome manuscripts from, but not limited to, the following subtopics:
- Screening and acquisition of anti-inflammatory bacteria strains;
- Ex vivo and in vivo anti-inflammatory characterization of specific bacteria strains;
- Role of anti-inflammatory bacteria strains in animal intestinal health and disease;
- Identification and mechanisms by which metabolites of anti-inflammatory bacteria strains modulate host immunity;
- Anti-inflammatory bacteria strains -intestinal microbiota interactions;
- Potential mechanisms of specific bacteria strains against pathogenic infections based on multi-omics.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
