Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Discovery:
The focus on traditional antibiotic discovery methods has waned as researchers increasingly prioritize novel approaches to combat antibiotic resistance, such as the development of adjuvants and alternative therapies. - Single-Pathogen Studies:
Research that solely focuses on individual pathogens is less common, with a growing emphasis on multi-pathogen studies and the role of the microbiome in infectious diseases. - Conventional Vaccination Approaches:
There is a noticeable decline in studies centered on conventional vaccination strategies, as novel platforms such as mRNA vaccines and nanoparticle-based delivery systems gain prominence. - Targeting Well-Characterized Molecular Mechanisms:
Research targeting well-known mechanisms of action in pathogens is diminishing, as attention shifts towards exploring less understood pathways and novel drug targets. - In Vitro Studies without Clinical Relevance:
There is a reduction in studies that do not translate well to clinical settings, as the journal encourages more clinically relevant research that bridges laboratory findings with real-world applications.
