Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of bacteria, including their isolation, characterization, and identification from various environments such as saline ecosystems, soil, geothermal springs, and animal-related samples. Research investigates bacterial roles in plant growth promotion, biosurfactant production, and biotechnological applications like organic matter degradation and nutrient accumulation. The journal also addresses significant public health concerns related to bacteria, particularly antimicrobial resistance in pathogens like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and their implications in infections, food safety, and environmental contamination.
