Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antibiotics are natural and synthetic compounds that kill bacteria and have been heavily used and abused in food for over 50 years not only to treat and prevent infections, but also to promote growth. Thus the abuse in antibiotic treatments has provoked the development and spreading of bacterial resistance and the appearance and expansion of multidrug-resistant strains in such a way that the food environment has become an important reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes/proteins and a route for their dissemination and potential transmission to human pathogens.
Recent successes of the advanced molecular methodologies based on –omics technologies (i.e. Proteomics, Genomics, Metabolomics) and systems biology approaches make them favorable strategies to analyze the resistome in food science. Thus, research institutions, agencies, food industries and regulatory laboratories are combining efforts to acquire the needed knowledge of the resistome in food.
This special issue will look at the latest advances in molecular analysis to the applications of the analysis of the resistome in food

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
