As part of the Microbiology Society portfolio, the Journal of Medical Microbiology provides comprehensive coverage of medical, dental and veterinary microbiology and infection biology (‘infection science’ for short). We welcome a range of submissions spanning laboratory research to clinical trials, including bacteriology, virology, mycology, parasitology, infectious diseases, human and veterinary public health.

We welcome articles reporting novel, original research findings that go beyond descriptive or factual reporting of observations. For example, acceptable content might uncover underlying mechanisms, explain previously observed phenomena, or provide a novel interpretation. We also encourage basic research on the biology of human and veterinary pathogens, set in the context of infection or immunity, and prefer a strong connection to a specific infection(s) for host-centred topics such as host cell biology or immunology.
