Special Issue on Staphylococcus Aureus
Staphylococcus Aureus, representative of
gram-positive bacteria, can make people’s respiratory tract and skin inflamed. The
pathogenicity of S. aureus is determined by its toxins and invasive enzymes. MRSA,
the strain of S. aureus, has developed through the process of natural selection
and has resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillins and
cephalosporins. The resistance makes MRSA infection more difficult to be treated
with standard types of antibiotics and thus more dangerous. The goal of this
special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over
the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in
the area of research on staphylococcus
aureus.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers
and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring staphylococcus aureus. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Metabolism of S. aureus
-
Staphylococcal enterotoxins
-
Antibiotic resistance
-
Pathogenicity
-
Infection of S. aureus
-
Toxins and invasive enzymes
-
Gram-positive bacteria
-
Bacterial food poisoning
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an
electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript
title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - staphylococcus aureus” should be
chosen during your submission.
