About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to elucidate the complexities of co-infections, focusing on the interactions between multiple pathogens and their hosts, and to explore innovative management strategies. The primary objectives include understanding the molecular and immunological mechanisms of pathogen interactions, examining host-pathogen dynamics, and addressing the challenges of antimicrobial resistance and diagnostics in co-infections. By investigating these areas, the research aims to develop novel approaches for the effective management and treatment of co-infections, ultimately reducing their impact on global health.
To gather further insights into the complexities and management of multifaceted co-infections, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- The molecular and immunological mechanisms responsible for interactions between various pathogens during co-infections.
- Understanding host-pathogen interaction during co-infection.
- Antimicrobial resistance and diagnostic challenges in co-infection.
- Modern treatment strategies to combat co-infection.
- Clinical studies of co-infection.
- The development of novel approaches or techniques for managing co-infections.
Keywords: Co-infection, host-pathogen interaction, antimicrobial resistance, emerging infections, immunological interactions, clinical management, diagnostic challenges
