Primary Research
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy® (AAC) features interdisciplinary studies that build our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and therapeutic applications of antimicrobial and antiparasitic agents and chemotherapy.
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Applied and Environmental Microbiology® (AEM) publishes papers that make significant contributions to (a) applied microbiology, including biotechnology, protein engineering, bioremediation, and food microbiology, (b) microbial ecology, including environmental, organismic, and genomic microbiology, and (c) interdisciplinary microbiology, including invertebrate microbiology, plant microbiology, aquatic microbiology, and geomicrobiology.
Infection and Immunity
Infection and Immunity® (IAI) provides new insights into the interactions between bacterial, fungal and parasitic pathogens and their hosts. Specific areas of interest include mechanisms of molecular pathogenesis, virulence factors, cellular microbiology, experimental models of infection, host resistance or susceptibility, and the generation of innate and adaptive immune responses. IAI also welcomes studies of the microbiome relating to host-pathogen interactions.
Journal of Bacteriology
Journal of Bacteriology® (JB) publishes research articles that probe fundamental processes in bacteria, archaea, and their viruses and the molecular mechanisms by which they interact with each other and with their hosts and their environments.
Journal of Clinical Microbiology
Journal of Clinical Microbiology® (JCM) publishes the most current research related to the laboratory diagnosis of human and animal infections and the role of the laboratory in both the management of infectious diseases and the elucidation of the epidemiology of infections.
Journal of Virology
Journal of Virology® (JVI) explores the nature of the viruses of animals, archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants, and protozoa. We welcome papers on virion structure and assembly, viral genome replication and regulation of gene expression, genetic diversity and evolution, virus-cell interactions, cellular responses to infection, transformation and oncogenesis, gene delivery, viral pathogenesis and immunity, and vaccines and antiviral agents.
Molecular and Cellular Biology
Molecular and Cellular Biology® (MCB) showcases fundamental discoveries in gene expression and genome organization, cellular morphology and function, molecular metabolism, cellular trafficking, and signal transduction. The journal also is interested in studies that investigate molecular, cellular, and systemic host responses to pathogenic agents in chronic diseases and conditions.

Microbiology Resource Announcements
Microbiology Resource Announcements (MRA) (formerly Genome Announcements) is an online-only, fully open access journal that publishes articles announcing the availability of any microbiological resource deposited in a repository available to the community.
mSphere
mSphere® is a multidisciplinary, open access journal that publishes high-quality research constituting fundamental contributions to any of the fields within the immense range of the microbial sciences.
mSystems
mSystems®, a new open access journal from the American Society for Microbiology, publishes the best research in systems biology, ranging from an individual cell through entire microbial communities, including the development of new computational approaches to derive biological insight from these large data sets.
Review Journals
Clinical Microbiology Reviews
Clinical Microbiology Reviews® (CMR) analyzes the latest developments in clinical microbiology and immunology, providing the current state of knowledge in the field, as well as balanced, thought-provoking perspectives on controversial issues.
EcoSal Plus
EcoSal Plus is an authoritative compendium of all things E. coli, Salmonella, and other Enterobacteriaceae. Reviews focus on physiology, metabolism, evolution and genomics, genetics and genetic tools, pathogenesis, ecology, systems biology, and historical perspectives, and feature extensive crosslinking to the EcoCyc database.
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews
Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews® (MMBR) keeps researchers current with the latest developments in microbiology as well as related fields such as immunology and molecular and cellular biology. Review articles explore the significance and the interrelationships of the latest discoveries that build our understanding of bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and other higher eukaryotes.
Microbiology Spectrum
Microbiology Spectrum publishes commissioned, often interrelated, review articles across a broad swath of microbiology. Topics cover food, environmental, industrial, and clinical microbiology; archaeal, bacterial, viral, and eukaryotic microbes; genetics, cell biology, and physiology; genomics, computational, and synthetic microbiology, and immunology and pathogenesis, among others.
