About this Research Topic
Having Pseudomonas spp. accounting for opportunistic infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa being one of the top three critical pathogens demanding urgent research into new treatments, as classified by the World Health Organisation (WHO), there are continuous and ongoing efforts in understanding the structural features and modes of action of Pseudomonas spp. This is vital in driving scientific discovery toward prevention and treatment strategies against urinary tract infections, implant-associated infections, wounds, bone or joint infections, central nervous system infections, endocarditis, pneumonia, and sepsis. Through this research topic, we aim to explore the scientific gaps associated with our understanding of Pseudomonas spp. and its importance to design better drugs, and treatment modalities and prevent/overcome antibiotic resistance.
We welcome the submission of original research, reviews, methods developments, and perspective articles. The current Research Topic aims to highlight the latest scientific findings on Pseudomonas spp. in the following areas:
1. Pathogenesis and resistance mechanisms developed by Pseudomonas spp.
2. Host-pathogen interaction and immune evasion mechanisms.
3. Infection control and prevention strategies.
4. Novel therapeutic strategies that target pseudomonas infections.
Keywords: pseudomonas, infection, resistant mechanisms, multidrug-resistant, antimicrobial agents
