Dear Colleagues, I am soliciting an article from you and/or one of your colleagues for this Special Issue entitled “Pattern Recognition Receptors for Bacteria and Fungi and the Innate Immune Response” to be published in Vaccines. Both manuscripts reporting original data and reviews are wlcome. Infections caused by bacteria and fungi are a major medical challenge throughout the world. One of the first lines of defense against these organisms is the innate immune system, which involves phagocytosis, inflammation, and cytokine production, in addition to the adaptive immune response. Receptors for bacterial and fungal products are critical components of the innate immune response. Vaccines is a rapidly growing journal that is indexed by PubMed and SCIE and it offers a rapid review and time to publication. It employs many respected scientists serving as editors and contributors. We expect your paper will be an importantcontribution to this Special Issue. Prof. Dr. Theo N. Kirkland Guest Editor
