Special Issue on Pathogenic Bacteria

Pathogenic Bacteria are bacteria that can cause infection. Although most bacteria are harmless or often beneficial, several are pathogenic. One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year. Pathogenic bacteria contribute to other globally important diseases, such as pneumonia, which can be caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus and Pseudomonas. Pathogenic Bacteria also cause infections such as tetanus, typhoid fever, diphtheria and leprosy.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring pathogenic bacteria. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Pathogenic bacteria
• Materials of construction
• Diseases 
• Mechanisms
• Treatment
• Pathogenic viruses

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Pathogenic Bacteria” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
