The Journal of Clinical Microbiology (JCM) publishes significant studies about:

Laboratory tests and other technologies, such as artificial intelligence, when applied to testing results, for the diagnosis and monitoring of human and animal infectious diseases
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by phenotypic and genotypic/genomic methods
Novel or significantly improved test methods with high potential for application in clinical microbiology laboratories
Diagnostic test stewardship and the effects of these interventions on laboratory resource utilization and patient outcomes
Epidemiology of infectious diseases as it relates to laboratory tests such as typing methods and genome sequencing of pathogens
