Journal of Pathogens
Scope & Guideline
Advancing the Frontiers of Pathogen Research
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Pathogen-Host Interactions:
Research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which pathogens interact with host organisms, including studies on immune responses and pathogenicity factors. - Antimicrobial Resistance:
Investigations into the patterns of resistance exhibited by various pathogens, including the mechanisms of resistance and their clinical implications. - Infectious Disease Epidemiology:
Studies that examine the prevalence, distribution, and determinants of infectious diseases in populations, often focusing on specific demographics or geographic regions. - Innovative Therapeutics and Treatments:
Research that explores new therapeutic approaches, including herbal formulations and novel drug compounds, aimed at treating infections caused by resistant pathogens. - Clinical Microbiology:
Papers that provide insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infectious diseases, particularly in vulnerable populations like pediatric or immunocompromised patients.
Trending and Emerging
- CRISPR and Genetic Editing Technologies:
The use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in studying pathogen interactions and resistance mechanisms is gaining traction, indicating a trend towards advanced genetic tools in microbiological research. - Herbal and Alternative Therapeutics:
There is an increasing interest in exploring the therapeutic potential of herbal formulations and natural products, particularly in the context of antibiotic-resistant infections. - Infectious Diseases in Vulnerable Populations:
Research focusing on the impact of infectious diseases in vulnerable groups, such as refugees or immunocompromised patients, is emerging as a significant area of study, highlighting public health disparities. - Biofilm Formation and Resistance Mechanisms:
The exploration of biofilm production by pathogens and its implications for antibiotic treatment is becoming more prominent, reflecting a deeper understanding of chronic infections and treatment challenges. - Comprehensive Resistance Profiling:
There is a growing emphasis on comprehensive studies that assess both antimicrobial resistance and virulence factors, providing a more holistic view of pathogen behavior in clinical settings.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Antibiotic Studies:
Research centered solely on traditional antibiotic efficacy without addressing resistance mechanisms or innovative treatment strategies has decreased, possibly due to the growing emphasis on understanding and combating antimicrobial resistance. - Non-Clinical Studies:
Papers focusing on purely theoretical or non-clinical aspects of pathogens without direct implications for treatment or public health have become less prominent, as the journal increasingly prioritizes studies with practical applications. - Vector-Borne Diseases:
There appears to be a waning focus on vector-borne diseases as the primary subject, as more recent publications have shifted towards bacterial and viral pathogens, particularly in the context of antibiotic resistance.
