Nature Reviews Immunology

Aims & Scope

Nature Reviews Microbiology embraces this new era by encompassing the discipline in its broadest sense. We take an integrated approach to microbiology, bridging fundamental research and its clinical, industrial and environmental applications to create a single information resource for all who share an interest in microbial life. Nature Reviews Microbiology publishes the highest-quality reviews and perspectives highlighting important developments in our understanding of bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and protozoa, their interaction with their environments, how these organisms are harnessed in human endeavour and their impact on society. Also featured are timely summaries of significant research papers, as well as monthly updates on the latest developments in microbial genomics, post-genomic biology and infectious diseases. In line with our ongoing ambition to overcome the traditional barriers between bacteriology, virology, mycology and archaeal and protozoan biology, articles are tailored to appeal to microbiologists of every persuasion and at every level. The scope of the journal encompasses, but will not be limited to, the following fields pertaining to bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi and protozoa: Biochemistry, physiology and molecular biology Genetics and genomics Ecology, evolution and biodiversity Cellular microbiology Environmental microbiology Pathogenesis and host defence Clinical and diagnostic microbiology Infectious diseases Antimicrobial therapies and vaccines Epidemiology and public health microbiology Applied and industrial microbiology Microbiology education Microbiology and society
