mBio Scope

mBio^® is a broad-scope open access journal edited by active research scientists. It strives to publish the best research in microbiology and allied fields. mBio publishes outstanding papers in all disciplines that address microbiological problems, including, but not limited to, biochemistry and molecular biology, genetics and genomics, environmental science, evolution, immunology, infectious disease, and physiology. Topics covered include bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and simple eukaryotic organisms, as well as all types of host-microbe interactions.

mBio does not consider pre-submission inquiries. We encourage authors to submit on any topic related to microbiology, and if the submission is not deemed appropriate for mBio, you will receive a quick decision with an offer to transfer to another ASM journal.
