Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes reviews on the biology of Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and other Enterobacterales, including their physiology, genetics, and use as model organisms. It also covers research on bacteriophages, particularly T4, focusing on their genome packaging, replication, recombination, transcriptional regulation, and interactions with host cells. Additionally, the scope includes prokaryotic horizontal genetic exchange mechanisms like restriction-modification systems, and the structure and organization of bacterial nucleoids.
