Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Development:
Research centered on the development of traditional antibiotics has diminished as the focus shifts towards novel mechanisms and combination therapies to combat resistance. - General Microbial Ecology Studies:
Publications focusing solely on microbial ecology without direct implications for antimicrobial resistance or therapy have decreased, as the journal emphasizes more clinically relevant studies. - Non-Clinical Trial Research:
The frequency of publications based on non-clinical trial research, such as in vitro studies without translational significance, has waned in favor of clinical trial data and real-world evidence. - Conventional Resistance Mechanisms:
Research specifically detailing conventional resistance mechanisms (e.g., beta-lactamase production) is less prevalent as newer and more complex resistance mechanisms and their clinical implications gain attention. - Basic Science without Clinical Application:
There is a noticeable decline in basic science research that does not directly correlate with clinical applications or antimicrobial stewardship, as the journal aims to prioritize impactful research.
