Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on microbial responses to environmental conditions, including studies on microbial community structure in lakes, antibiotic tolerance in bacterial cultures, adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus to host environments, regulation of sporulation and metabolite production in Streptomyces, and the development of antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. It also covers research on pathogenic Sneathia species, bacterial interactions in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation, novel antibiotic development against mycobacteria, and the role of plasmids in soil microbial evolution and antibiotic resistance.
