JOURNAL OF MICROBIOLOGY IMMUNOLOGY AND INFECTION
Scope & Guideline
Championing open access to vital scientific insights.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases:
The journal emphasizes research on various infectious diseases, including bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. Studies often focus on clinical characteristics, treatment outcomes, and antimicrobial resistance patterns. - Immunology and Host Response:
Research that explores the immune response to infections, vaccine efficacy, and the interplay between pathogens and the host's immune system is a central theme. This includes studies on T-cell responses, antibody production, and immunological markers. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
A significant focus is placed on understanding the mechanisms and epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance, particularly among gram-negative bacteria and other clinically relevant pathogens. This includes studies on resistance genes, phenotypic resistance, and the impact of antimicrobial stewardship. - Epidemiology and Public Health:
The journal publishes research that investigates the epidemiological trends of infectious diseases, including outbreaks, risk factors, and population-based studies that inform public health strategies. - Innovative Diagnostic Methods:
Research on novel diagnostic techniques, including molecular methods like PCR and metagenomics, is also highlighted, reflecting the journal's commitment to improving diagnostic accuracy and speed for infectious diseases.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Research:
Research related to COVID-19, including its clinical manifestations, treatment protocols, and long-term sequelae, has surged. This reflects the pandemic's significant impact on global health and the urgent need for understanding its implications. - Antimicrobial Stewardship and Resistance:
There is an increasing focus on studies addressing antimicrobial stewardship programs, strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance, and the development of novel antimicrobial agents. - Long COVID and Post-Infectious Syndromes:
Emerging studies on Long COVID and other post-infectious syndromes are gaining attention, highlighting the need for ongoing research into the long-term effects of viral infections. - Vaccine Development and Response:
Research on vaccine efficacy, safety, and the immune response to various vaccines, especially in immunocompromised populations, is trending, reflecting the global emphasis on vaccination as a public health strategy. - Microbiome Studies:
Investigation into the role of the microbiome in health and disease, particularly its interaction with infectious agents and impact on treatment outcomes, is gaining traction.
Declining or Waning
- Non-Infectious Disease-Related Immunology:
Research focusing solely on immunology without a direct connection to infectious diseases appears to be waning. The journal's current trend favors studies that link immunological mechanisms to infectious disease outcomes. - Traditional Laboratory Techniques:
There is a noticeable decline in studies relying solely on traditional microbiological techniques, such as culture-based methods, as newer, more rapid diagnostic methods gain traction. - Epidemiological Studies of Established Pathogens:
Epidemiological research on well-established pathogens, which previously received significant attention, is becoming less frequent as emerging pathogens and their associated diseases take precedence. - Localized Studies:
Studies focused on localized outbreaks or regional infections without broader implications or connections to global health concerns are less common, possibly due to a shift towards research with wider applicability.
