Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on bacterial and viral pathogens, focusing on their epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, and genetic characteristics. Studies investigate the prevalence of specific bacteria like Salmonella, Enterobacterales, and Klebsiella pneumoniae in various settings, including retail meats, healthcare institutions, and animal products. Viral research includes the surveillance of respiratory viruses, norovirus outbreaks, and the development of antiviral strategies against viruses like Enterovirus 71 and Herpes simplex virus type 1. The journal also explores emerging therapeutic approaches such as phage-antibiotic combination therapy and the role of host-pathogen interactions.
