About this Research Topic

Submission deadlines

  1. Manuscript Submission Deadline 27 March 2026

  2. This Research Topic is currently accepting articles.

Background

This article collection is dedicated to publishing comprehensive and high-quality review articles that delve into the intricate interactions between bacterial pathogens and their hosts. This article collection should emphasize research that explores these interactions at both cellular and organismal levels.

We are particularly interested in the following aspects of host responses to bacterial infection:
- Cellular responses and signaling pathways
- Vesicular trafficking and communication
- Organelle dynamics and modifications
- Biochemical interactions and metabolic changes
- Broader biological modulations

We welcome full-length reviews and mini-reviews that aim to provide insights into how bacterial pathogens manipulate host cell machinery, evade immune responses, or alter host physiology. The ultimate goal of these reviews is to integrate current knowledge, identify gaps, and propose new directions for research, with potential implications for developing therapeutic strategies against bacterial infections. This article collection should serve as a critical resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals engaged in the study of microbial pathogenesis and the host’s defense mechanisms, fostering advancements in the understanding and management of bacterial diseases.
