About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research Topic is to present biofilm's roles in bacterial infection, understand the cellular and molecular bases of the bacteria-host interaction, and better understand microbial biofilm's function and regulation during infection, providing to development of new technologies for diagnostics and vaccines. Any topic related to the theme will be welcome to participate in the collection.
This Research Topic welcomes contributions in the form of Original Research, Review, and Mini-Review that focus on, but are not limited to, the following themes:
• Bacterial biofilm production and virulence mechanisms during infection (e. g. bacterial two-component systems, secretion systems).
• Bacterial mechanisms, cellular and molecular bases of the bacteria-host interaction.
• Data on the antimicrobial resistance in the pathogen-host interaction.
• Developing interventions to reduce colonization and transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria
• New approaches and methods in drug discovery and infectious disease treatment (developing new technologies for diagnostics and vaccines).
Keywords: bacteria interaction, biofilms, cellular, molecular, antimicrobial resistance
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
