Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microbial communities in the gut and airway microbiota evolve and exert their ecological dynamics by establishing interactions within and among communities. These interactions can be highlighted by associations, correlations, and fused data-based models. Functional and ecological models may provide fundamental insights in the early life microbiota pathogenesis and in the relationship between disease onset, progression, and microbiota shape, as well as microbial niche selection and expansion. The Special Issue will focus on the mechanisms of neonatal microbiota maturation in neonatal life; on the correlations between gut and saliva microbiota during early life; and on the interaction between metabolite production and microbiota species selection under effect of probiotic administration. Moreover, network-based interactions will be reported to highlight lung and gut microbiota in respiratory diseases, including cancer. Models based on interaction between ecological and metabolomics data will be generated and interpreted to provide microbiome functional models and to identify disease-associated biomarkers in the personalised medicine of major multifactorial diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases, autism spectrum disorders, and lung cancer.

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. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
