    • Streptomyces Collection


    • Over the last century, Streptomyces bacteria – and their metabolic products – have revolutionized modern medicine. These little pharmaceutical factories produce a vast array of natural products that have been co-opted for medical and agricultural therapies. In addition to their metabolic sophistication, Streptomyces also exhibit remarkable developmental and regulatory complexity.

      Guest-edited by Dr Marie Elliot, this collection of keynote research articles will highlight fascinating aspects of Streptomyces biology, and the advances that are providing us with newfound insight and appreciation for these extraordinary bacteria.

      This collection is now open for submissions - please submit here and state that your manuscript is part of the Streptomyces collection. 

    • Pseudomonas Collection


    • This collection brings together original research articles, mini-reviews, and full-length reviews relating to Pseudomonas. Guest edited by Dr Joanna Goldberg and co-edited by Dr Kalai Mathee, this collection will not only be relevant to scientists with an interest in Pseudomonas, but also, due to the widespread use of this genus as a model for studying multiple systems, it will be of general interest to other researchers active in areas such as evolutionary biology, communication systems, genomics and biofilm research. In addition, because P. aeruginosa is a key pathogen associated with both acute and chronic infections, and particularly important in the context of cystic fibrosis and antimicrobial resistance, the collection will be of interest to clinicians and clinical researchers.

      This collection is being run in conjunction with Pseudomonas 2019, an international conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and welcomes articles from participants and non-participants.

    • New antibiotics needed: WHO priority pathogens of concern


    • In 2017, the World Health Organisation published a list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health. This publication was compiled to help guide and promote research and the development of new antibiotics, and lists 12 families in order of research priority. In an effort to help raise the profile of these important pathogens, Microbial Genomics has commissioned a series of mini reviews on the bacteria included in this list.

      Articles will be published as they become available over the course of the next year and will be put into a special collection named ‘WHO’s 12’. For enquiries please contact [email protected].

    • Microbiome Collection


    • In celebration of World Microbiome Day on 27 June, the Microbiology Society and the British Society for Immunology have collaborated to curate a freely available collection of microbiome research articles published in our journals. This unique collaboration breaks traditional disciplinary boundaries, bringing the microbiology and immunology communities together over shared interests. Articles from the British Society for Immunology can be found here. The full collection can also be viewed on Science Open.

      Our co-published Editorial, written by Julian Marchesi of Cardiff University and Imperial College London, and Chair of the Unlocking the Microbiome report, about the landscape of microbiome research on World Microbiome Day, can be found here.

    • X-AMR, a pop-up journal


    • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a cross-disciplinary issue, with ground-breaking studies currently bringing together clinicians and modellers, veterinary and soil scientists, microbiologists and anthropologists. Yet finding a home for the unique publications from this research is difficult. The Microbiology Society is providing such a home with a new pop-up journal for cross-disciplinary research on antimicrobial resistance: X-AMR.

      We invite submissions in the form of research papers, mini-reviews or commentaries. For more information on X-AMR, including how to submit your article, see our FAQs page.

      Included in this collection are a host of antimicrobial resistance papers already published across our portfolio. The latest X-AMR articles will appear as and when they are published. Read our Guest Editors' introductory Editorial here.

    • Candida albicans collection


    • The polymorphic yeast Candida albicans, recently highlighted in the Microbe Profiles section of Microbiology, is the most important fungal pathogen in humans. Beyond the clinics, basic research in this organism deals with a variety of topics of interest, like the Genetics and Molecular Biology behind antifungal drug resistance; the molecular determinants of endurance to nutritional, pH and oxidative stress imposed by the host defenses; or its interactions with both the host epithelia and bacterial partners that share the mucosal microbiota with the fungus. Furthermore, the development in the last two decades of a plethora of tools to genetically tackle C. albicans, lacking a sexual cycle, has led to its coming of age as a model to study the developmental process of dimorphism in fungi. This collection of keynote research articles published in Microbiology on diverse aspects of C. albicans biology celebrates a golden age of Candida research. – Professor Victor Cid

    • CRISPR Collection


    • In 2005, the mystery was unveiled: CRISPR cassettes witness genetic intrusions. Researchers, notably microbiologists, eventually confirmed CRISPR-based adaptive immunity and deciphered the underlying mechanism. Multiple uses emerged from this basic study on the biology of prokaryotes. DNA-manipulation tools were implemented with components of this immune system, triggering an unprecedented revolution in science.

      This collection presents high quality work on CRISPR. For more information watch the Microbiology Society on "What is CRISPR Cas?" .
