Molecular Detection, Characterization, Antimicrobial Resistance and Genomic Epidemiology of Pathogenic Bacteria.

This document discusses the global concern over antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacterial pathogens causing infections in various settings. The document emphasizes the need for collaboration between specialists in microbiology, medicine, molecular biology, and bioinformatics to understand the mechanisms of resistance development and dissemination. The document also highlights the importance of molecular and whole-genome sequencing methods for detecting global clones and investigating AMR genes. The special issue includes papers on the genomic analysis of specific bacterial strains, molecular and genomic epidemiology studies, and novel methods for bacterial detection and prevention. These findings are valuable for researchers studying bacterial pathogen surveillance, detection, and treatment. [Extracted from the article]
