“Antibacterials, bacterial small molecule interactions and quorum sensing” has become a highly active research area due to the basic science challenge and the ever-increasing problems with antimicrobial resistance.

 Potential topics for manuscripts include, but are not limited to:

  • Discovery, investigation and/or mechanism of antibacterial molecules
  • Discovery, investigation and/or mechanism of molecules that are involved in or modulate bacterial signaling/quorum sensing
  • Synthesis of antibacterial molecules
  • Library synthesis
