以下为专题信息：Special Issue "Molecular Mechanisms of Stress-Mediated Bacterial Death"

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Death is a central feature of microbial biology. Understanding and controlling microbial death are keys to antimicrobial effectiveness, limiting tolerance and persistence, and protecting gut microbiota during antimicrobial treatment. They are also important for the industrial production of toxic compounds by microbes. Lethal stressors have recently gained attention because of the possibility that they kill bacteria through a common mechanism, even though the classes differ with respect to primary targets.

This special issue of Antibiotics will focus on novel observations concerning a variety of topics related to stress-induced death. Suitable subjects include antimicrobial tolerance and persistence, the roles of metabolic changes and signaling pathways, the accumulation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, death during differentiation, and programmed cell death.

We invite the submission of both primary research reports and reviews of recent literature. All articles will be peer-reviewed.
