Abstract
Infectious diseases represent an important cause of mortality which motivated the pharmaceutical companies to develop new antimicrobial drugs in recent constant years, especially due to the constant emergence of microorganisms resistant to conventional antimicrobials. Nature has provided many things for humankind over the years, including the tools for the first attempts at therapeutic intervention. Api-products, recognized in traditional and modern medicine as active agents in some biological processes, have been used since ancient times. Their botanical origin is matters of great interest worldwide since the floral source of bee products plays an important role on their biological properties, as it could determine their antimicrobial activities.

An Overview of Drugs for Multiple Targets and Variants of SARS-CoV-2 Through Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Experimental Analysis
The emergence and rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants have posed significant challenges in the ongoing fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of effective treatments for multiple viral targets and variants demands innovative approaches, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) techniques. This special issue aims ...read more
