Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This issue will cover antibiotic resistance mechanisms and advances in modern medicine from faecal microbiota transplant to the development of novel drug therapies targeting hospital-acquired as well as foodborne Gram-negative pathogens. Original articles and reviews are particularly welcome in this field which relate to Gram-negative bacteria in the ESKAPE group as well as WHO critical and high priority pathogens.
