About This Topic
Antibiotic resistance is a growing global threat to human health and the clinical treatment of disease. Over the past decade, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been detected in almost every setting on a global scale. Since human activity drives the selection of genes from environmental and cellular sources, these genes can then be selected to confer antibiotic resistance. ARGs are mainly carried by mobile genetic elements (plasmids and transposons), which enhance their spread between strains belonging to the same species or between different genera. This special issue welcomes various studies related to identification and characterization of antibiotic resistance genes from pathogenic and commensal bacteria as well as from environmental bacteria. This special issue will highlight the genome plasticity of bacteria and the most important genomic phenomenon that drive selection, collection and organization of ARGs.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted through the LIDSEN Submission System. Detailed information on manuscript preparation and submission is available in the Instructions for Authors. All submitted articles will be thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process and will be processed following the Editorial Process and Quality Control policy. Upon acceptance, the article will be immediately published in a regular issue of the journal and will be listed together on the special issue website, with a label that the article belongs to the Special Issue.

The authors own the copyright to the article, and the article can be free to access, distribute, and reuse provided that the original work is correctly cited.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). Research articles and review articles are highly invited. Authors are encouraged to send the tentative title and abstract of the planned paper to the Editorial Office (genetics@lidsen.com) for record. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Editorial Office.
