Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the era of widespread multidrug resistance amongst various microorganisms, it is important to search for new compounds with the etiology of multidrug-resistant strains that can effectively protect against infections.
We can ask ourselves whether such compounds are “gifts of nature”, that is, commonly available natural compounds. Maybe their derivatives are created by various chemical modifications, perhaps artificially synthesized compounds, or modifications of already existing compounds, such as antibiotics? Is there a possible pathway that uses a combination of substances from the above-mentioned groups, and which pathway will prove to be the best?
This Special Issue welcomes papers that address the above questions. Manuscripts that will bring us closer to developing an effective product in the fight against infectious diseases with multidrug-resistant strains will be considered.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
