This journal publishes research on various aspects of microbiology, including bacterial resistance to antibiotics, the characterization of bacterial communities in different environments and hosts, and the development of novel antimicrobial strategies. Studies also explore microbial metabolism, genetic elements, and their roles in ecological and pathogenic processes. Additionally, the journal covers research on microbial production of valuable compounds and the application of microbiological knowledge in education and public engagement.
