Research on antibiotics and other microbial products is pivotal to the global battle against the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. As well as the traditional research and development model of finding replacement drugs to tackle this problem, there are other important new strategies for addressing resistance which include research into bioactive microbial products. The Journal of Antibiotics forms an integral part of this battle against resistance by encouraging and publishing original research articles that report findings of wide biological significance in the multidisciplinary field of antimicrobials. We specifically encourage articles that represent important advances in the field of antimicrobial research, including recently discovered antibiotics, bioactive microbial products and novel strategies for combating antibiotic resistance. The Journal of Antibiotics provides a dynamic platform for communicating research on microbial products and antimicrobial approaches through also including insightful and up-to-date reviews, short communications and letters to the editor.

對抗生素和其他微生物產品的研究是對抗日益增長的抗生素耐藥性問題的全球斗爭的關鍵。除了傳統的尋找替代藥物來解決這一問題的研究和開發模式外，還有其他重要的新的抗藥性解決策略，包括對生物活性微生物產品的研究。《抗生素雜志》通過鼓勵和發表原創的研究文章，在抗菌藥物的多學科領域中報道具有廣泛生物學意義的發現，成為對抗耐藥性斗爭的一個組成部分。我們特別鼓勵在抗菌研究領域取得重要進展的文章，包括最近發現的抗生素、具有生物活性的微生物產品和對抗抗生素耐藥性的新策略.《抗生素雜志》提供了一個動態的平臺，通過包括有見地的和最新的評論、簡短的交流和致編輯的信件，來交流微生物產品和抗菌方法的研究。
