Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscript in the Special Issue of Pharmaceutics “Recent Advances in Antibacterial Drugs: Focus on Peptides and Their compounds”. Infections caused by diverse bacteria represent a major problem that threatens the health of humans as well as poses an increased risk of antimicrobial resistance. This Special Issue is focused on the search for new chemical entities, starting from both natural and synthetic compounds, and addressing different targets. This Special Issue of Pharmaceutics will also cover research on the mechanisms of drug susceptibility and antibiotic resistance, offering perspectives on the future directions of antibacterial agents. This Special Issue will pay particular attention to antimicrobial peptides that can be considered as ‘new’ anti-infective drugs. Original research articles and reviews are welcome for submission.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Marina Sala
Guest Editor
