Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) remain among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality among children. These infections substantially reduce the quality of life for pediatric patients and their families and constitute a significant personal, medical, and economic burden on the patients, the patients' families, and the healthcare system. Most RTIs are of viral origin; however, indiscriminate use of antibiotics in their treatment has led to the development of bacterial resistance. The effective management of RTIs, necessary both to reduce the burden of disease and to avoid the overuse of antibiotics, has become a great therapeutic challenge. New strategies for the management of paediatric rRTIs include the prioritization of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
The aim of this Special Issue of Microorganisms is to present a collection of articles that provide a current snapshot of research in the field of pediatric RTIs. We encourage authors to submit any high-quality manuscripts covering aspects of research relating to RTIs prevention, diagnosis, management, and treatment.
