The Journal of Antibiotic Development and Clinical Practice aims to:
• Promote research focused on antibiotic discovery, development, and optimization for combating infectious diseases.
• Address the rising concerns of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through innovative clinical and laboratory-based studies.
• Encourage multidisciplinary approaches, including pharmacology, clinical microbiology, genomics, and artificial intelligence, to improve antibiotic therapies.
• Provide a forum for evaluating the clinical efficacy, safety, and real-world applications of antibiotics.
Scope of the Journal includes but is not limited to:
1. Novel Antibiotic Development:
• Discovery of new antibiotics from natural or synthetic sources
• Optimization of existing antibiotics for enhanced efficacy
• High-throughput screening and antibiotic innovation
2. Clinical Research in Antibiotic Therapy:
• Clinical trials (Phase I-IV) assessing antibiotic safety and efficacy
• Observational studies on real-world antibiotic usage
• Comparative effectiveness of antibiotic regimens
3. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR):
• Mechanisms of resistance in bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections
• Surveillance and epidemiology of resistant pathogens
• Strategies for preventing and managing antibiotic resistance
4. Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:
• Drug absorption, metabolism, and optimization studies
• Antibiotic dose adjustment in special populations (e.g., pediatric, geriatric, renal impairment)
5. Innovations in Antibiotic Delivery and Diagnostics:
• Novel drug delivery systems and formulations
• Rapid diagnostic tools for antibiotic stewardship
6. Case Reports and Clinical Practice:
• Unique clinical presentations and treatment responses
• Emerging pathogens and antibiotic therapies
