What we publish

We welcome original research, reviews and perspectives following topics:

1. Microbial Bioactives & Therapeutics – all aspects of bioactive discovery, drug development and therapeutic applications.
2. Clinical & Public Health Microbiology – microbial diagnostics, pathogenesis and microbiome-based interventions impacting human and animal health.
3. Environmental & Agricultural Microbiology – roles of microbes and bioactives in soils, plants, water and agroecosystems.
4. Microbial Ecology & Host Interactions – community dynamics, symbioses and microbiome–host relationships.
5. Microbial Physiology, Genetics & Systems Biology – fundamental and systems-level studies illuminating pathways and regulation of bioactive production.
6. Applied & Industrial Microbiology – bioprocessing, biotechnology and synthetic approaches using microbial bioactives.

Out of scope

Manuscripts that lack a defined microbial topics, microbial component —for example, purely clinical trials, descriptive taxonomic reports, or studies focusing solely on macroorganisms without microbial impact —are not suitable for this journal.
