Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of ESBL (extended spectrum beta-lactamase)-producing Enterobacteriaceae (or third-generation resistant cephalosporin) represents a challenge in the treatment of community-acquired and nosocomial infection. A higher percentage of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae correlates with treatment failure and higher carbapenem use. Some research gaps have been noted in the epidemiology, risk factors and transmission model of ESBL-producing and MDR Enterobacteriaceae in different clinical settings. In addition, more data on animal and environment distribution are necessary. We welcome the submission of studies on the distribution and molecular characterization of antibiotic-resistant genes in ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Furthermore, studies on antibiotic utilization patterns in patients with infections or decolonization strategies in asymptomatic carriers would also be helpful to our readers.

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. Antibiotics 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 2900 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.
