Microbiology Open Access Research

Devoted to overcoming the global spread of antimicrobial resistance and healthcare-associated infections, Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control (ARIC) provides a platform for cutting-edge preeminent practices and best available data to those working in infection prevention and control.

Launched in collaboration with ICPIC, ARIC is proudly affiliated with numerous regional societies and as an open access journal, is dedicated to ensuring inclusion of international voices, particularly from limited resource settings. ARIC boasts a comprehensive range of research areas including prevention, diagnostics and treatments in the field, as well as guidelines for best practices from regional and international organizations.

BMC Microbiology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in analytical and functional studies of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses and small parasites, as well as host and therapeutic responses to them, and their interaction with the environment.

BMC Microbiology is part of the BMC series which publishes subject-specific journals focused on the needs of individual research communities across all areas of biology and medicine. We offer an efficient, fair and friendly peer review service, and are committed to publishing all sound science, provided that there is some advance in knowledge presented by the work. Learn more
