Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The frequent use of anti-infective agents against various pathogens leads to antimicrobial resistance, an urgent global public health threat that demands new strategies. Antimicrobial resistance kills at least 1.27 million people worldwide and was associated with nearly 5 million deaths in 2019, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported. For instant, the broad-spectrum antibiotics, directed against conserved bacterial targets, led to the development of resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. Likewise, antiviral treatments generate new resistant hepatitis C virus mutants. Similarly, the anti-fungus treatments generate resistant Candida albicans fungus strains. If antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals lose their effectiveness, then we lose the ability to treat infections and control these public health threats. This special issue welcomes research articles, review articles, letters to the editor, and short communications that deal with the current advances in anti-infective strategies.
