The ongoing fight against infectious diseases is a major global health challenge. This special issue, entitled "Advances in Infectious Disease Research: Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance, Zoonoses, and More," examines recent advances in understanding several types of pathogens as well as their antimicrobial resistance aspects, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. It covers a wide range of infections, such as respiratory diseases, meningitis/encephalitis, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases. Particular attention is given to the growing risk of MRSA, other staphylococci, and resistant streptococci. This issue delves into the challenges of zoonoses, tuberculosis, and other mycobacteria. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current research, innovations, and challenges in infectious diseases, focusing on both global and regional perspectives.

This special issue aims to address the growing global threat of infectious diseases. Microbial resistance has become a major public health concern with the emergence of drug-resistant infections such as MRSA and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, as well as the transmission of vector-borne animal diseases such as avian influenza and rabies. Additionally, this issue aims to present the latest research and innovations in understanding, innovating under, and dealing with these threats, which continue to pose challenges due to their virulence.

To achieve this goal, we seek contributions exploring alternative therapies, including novel antibiotics and antifungal agents, as well as therapies such as phage therapy and immunotherapy. Research focusing on mechanisms of infection, pathogen-pathogen communication, and the role of the microbiome in disease progression is also encouraged. Through cutting-edge research collections and fostering collaboration, this special issue aims to advance our understanding and management of infectious disease

This special issue, "Advances in Infectious Disease Research: Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance, Zoonoses, and More," invites contributions that address the broad spectrum of challenges and innovations in infectious disease research. We seek original research articles, reviews, and case studies focusing on:
