Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the 2nd edition of the Special Issue “Antimicrobial Resistance in Gram-negative Bacteria”. Gram-negative bacteria possess an intrinsic resistance to many antimicrobials because of the bacterium’s outer-membrane barrier, the presence of multidrug efflux transporters, endogenous antimicrobial inactivation, etc. Moreover, Gram-negative bacteria readily acquire resistance to antimicrobial agents via chromosomal mutations and lateral gene transfers. In order to overcome this problem, it is necessary to tackle the development of antibacterial agents, drug resistance inhibitors, antipathogenic factors, and vaccines. Thus, this Special Issue features interdisciplinary studies that build our understanding of the underlying antimicrobial resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. It also covers studies on the development of antibacterial agents and adjuvants against antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
