As the founding journal from the Microbiology Society, Microbiology brings together communities of scientists from all microbiological disciplines and from around the world. Originally Journal of General Microbiology, we have been publishing the latest advances in microbiology since 1947. Today the journal reflects the diversity and importance of microbiology in addressing current global challenges, such as food security, environmental sustainability, and health, by publishing fundamental and applied research across the breadth of the field.

Microbiology publishes high-quality original research and reviews on bacteria, fungi, yeast, protists, archaea, algae, parasites, phages and other microscopic life forms.

Key topic areas include, but are not limited to:
•Antimicrobials and Antimicrobial Resistance.

•Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology.

•Ecology and Microbiomes.

•Microbial Cell Surfaces.

•Microbial Evolution.

•Microbial Infection, Virulence and Pathogenesis.

•Microbial Physiology, Biochemistry and Metabolism.

•Regulation, Sensing and Signaling.
