This journal publishes research on microorganisms, including their roles in animal health and food production, human health and disease, environmental processes, and industrial applications. Studies investigate microbial resistance, spoilage, gut microbiota, infection prevention, and biodegradation. The scope also encompasses microbial community dynamics, genetic characteristics, and the development of surveillance and data standardization tools.
