Understanding bacteria and challenges in microbiology
More Less
In 2020 we celebrate 75 years of the anniversary of our founding with a year of activities dedicated to demonstrating the impact of microbiologists’ past, present and future – bringing together and empowering communities that help shape the future of microbiology. We are launching new collections of digital content throughout the anniversary year. The second digital hub is 'Understanding bacteria and the challenges in microbiology', which will explore novel antimicrobial strategies, the world of biofilms and bacteria in industry.

Vaccines
More Less
In 2020 we celebrate 75 years of the anniversary of our founding with a year of activities dedicated to demonstrating the impact of microbiologists’ past, present and future – bringing together and empowering communities that help shape the future of microbiology. We are launching new collections of digital content throughout the anniversary year. The third digital hub is ‘Vaccines: the global challenge for microbiology’, which will explore how vaccines work, how they are produced, herd immunity and disease eradication.
This Vaccine collection brings together the work of our journals on current and future vaccines, how they protect not just humans but animals as well, and how they are created.

New antibiotics needed: WHO priority pathogens of concern
More Less
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].

X-AMR, a pop-up journal
More Less
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.

Yeast
More Less
Yeasts are very versatile, model unicellular eukaryotes that have been extensively used for over a century to explore fundamental aspects of living systems. This collection brings together the latest studies showcasing research on biotechnological applications of yeasts, yeasts as disease models, and pathogenic yeasts.
