微生物發病機制發表關于感染性疾病的分子和細胞機制的原始貢獻和綜述。它涵蓋微生物學，宿主-病原體相互作用和免疫相關的傳染媒介，包括細菌，真菌，病毒和原生動物。除了病例報告外，它還接受臨床微生物學領域的論文。研究領域包括:發病機理毒力因子宿主敏感性或抗性免疫機制相關基因的鑒定、克隆和測序基因研究病毒，原核生物和原生動物微生物群與傳染病有關的系統生物學疫苗設計目標(臨床前研究)該雜志的目標是在國際論壇上迅速發表高質量和有意義的文章。請注意，只有在編輯邀請時才接受評論。

Microbial Pathogenesis publishes original contributions and reviews about the molecular and cellular mechanisms of infectious diseases. It covers microbiology, host-pathogen interaction and immunology related to infectious agents, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. It also accepts papers in the field of clinical microbiology, with the exception of case reports.Research Areas Include:PathogenesisVirulence factorsHost susceptibility or resistanceImmune mechanismsIdentification, cloning and sequencing of relevant genesGenetic studiesViruses, prokaryotic organisms and protozoaMicrobiotaSystems biology related to infectious diseasesTargets for vaccine design (pre-clinical studies)The journal aims for rapid publication of articles of high quality and significance in an international forum. Please note that reviews are only accepted upon editorial invitation.
