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

ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles
-
Journal of General Virology ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles are a freely available series of concise, review-type articles that provide overviews of the classification, structure and properties of individual virus orders, families and genera.
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profiles are written by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) study groups, comprised of leading experts in the field. The profiles summarise the individual chapters from the ICTV’s online 10th Report on Virus Taxonomy, and provide the latest taxonomic information on viruses.
The Microbiology Society is publishing these citable profiles online, while the full chapters are available to all through the ICTV website, thanks to a five-year Biomedical Resources grant from the Wellcome Trust.

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?" .

Antimicrobial Resistance
-
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious global threat to the effective prevention and treatment of common infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. For more information on AMR please review the Society’s briefing on the topic.
This collection has been created using published articles on AMR from the following peer-reviewed Society journals; Microbiology, Journal of Medical Microbiology, JMM Case Reports and Microbial Genomics.

70th Anniversary Collection for the Microbiology Society
-
To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the Microbiology Society, Editorial representatives from each of the Society’s journals have selected seminal articles from their publication that have made important contributions to microbiology over the years. The curators have written commentaries explaining their selections which can be read below.
By accessing these articles the reader can explore and understand some of the key developments in both microbiology research and scholarly publishing across the journals’ lifetimes. Key articles from Microbial Genomics as well as from more established journals like Microbiology, which has been published since 1947, are included in the collection.
