Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the problem of antibiotic resistance has become increasingly serious, threatening the health of human beings, animals and plants. Efficient and environmentally friendly phage therapy is expected to be a powerful approach to prevent and control the spread of pathogens in the fields of health care, food safety and ecology. Viruses is dedicated to providing a platform for the discussion of viruses and virus–host interactions, antibiotic-resistant pathogens and phage therapy. Its core purpose is to bring together researchers across the environmental, public health, animal medicine, and food fields with common scientific objectives to explore the latest high-quality scientific knowledge on blocking the transmission of pathogens and reducing antimicrobial resistance via phage therapy.
