Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance has become a challenging problem affecting both humans and animals worldwide. The indiscriminate wide spread of antibiotics has led to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, leaving few therapeutic options for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria. For the development of effective antimicrobial resistance (AMR) control measures and health policy choices, monitoring the spread of AMR infections is essential. Additionally, there is a critical need to control antibiotic alternatives such as probiotics.
This Special Issue welcomes high-quality original research papers on topics related to foodborne pathogens and probiotics. It will focus on topics including the presence and meaning of spoilage, useful and pathogenic microorganisms, technological strategies to promote their detection (traditional and molecular methods, biosensors) and control to improve food safety, reduction/elimination and use in food production. Apart from foodborne bacteria, scholars have also implemented many AMR testing to determine trends in AMR development. This Special Issue will welcome advanced studies on microorganism interactions in food matrices, starter cultures, bacteriocins, probiotics, antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens and biotechnological aspects, risk assessment, molecular epidemiology, whole genome sequencing and microbial responses to stresses in the food chain and innovation in food protection, such as the use of bioprotective and antioxidant cultures.

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.
