Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The inaugural volume of the Special Issue, "Silver and Gold Compounds as Antibiotics," featured ten papers. Encouraged by the response from scientists in the field, we are now launching a second volume centered on the same theme.
Following the path established by the initial volume, this second edition will highlight recent research and review articles within biological inorganic chemistry. Specifically, it will explore the antimicrobial properties of silver and gold compounds, encompassing their nanoparticles.
This second volume aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on this evolving field, presenting recent breakthroughs and the most current research. The focus will remain on the role of silver or gold compounds and their nanoparticles as antibiotics. Readers engaging with this Special Issue will acquire an extensive understanding of antimicrobial metal compounds.
