Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy publishes research on antimicrobial agents, focusing on their efficacy, resistance mechanisms, and pharmacokinetic properties. Studies investigate the development of new antibiotics, the impact of drug concentrations in specific patient populations like critically ill children or those undergoing surgery, and the emergence and detection of antimicrobial resistance in various pathogens. The journal also covers the evaluation of diagnostic methods for identifying resistance and the influence of antimicrobial use on resistance dissemination.
