Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology is a leading specialty journal, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across all pathogenic microorganisms and their interaction with their hosts. Chief Editor Yousef Abu Kwaik, University of Louisville is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology includes research on bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, endosymbionts, prions and all microbial pathogens as well as the microbiota and its effect on health and disease in various hosts. The research approaches include molecular microbiology, cellular microbiology, gene regulation, proteomics, signal transduction, pathogenic evolution, genomics, structural biology, and virulence factors as well as model hosts. Areas of research to counteract infectious agents by the host include the host innate and adaptive immune responses as well as metabolic restrictions to various pathogenic microorganisms, vaccine design and development against various pathogenic microorganisms, and the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and its countermeasures.One of our major purposes is to accelerate scientific communication of high quality research findings, with worldwide open and free access to these findings. Our open-access approach will stimulate research activity and advance scientific knowledge in this field and related ones throughout the world

《細(xì)胞與感染微生物學(xué)前沿》是一份領(lǐng)先的專業(yè)期刊，出版了所有病原微生物及其與宿主相互作用的嚴(yán)格同行評審研究。《路易斯維爾大學(xué)》主編尤瑟夫·阿布·奎克得到了由國際專家組成的優(yōu)秀編輯委員會(huì)的支持。這本多學(xué)科開放獲取的雜志是向全世界的研究人員、學(xué)者、臨床醫(yī)生和公眾傳播和傳播科學(xué)知識和有影響力的發(fā)現(xiàn)的前沿刊物。細(xì)胞和感染微生物學(xué)的前沿包括對細(xì)菌、真菌、寄生蟲、病毒、內(nèi)生菌、朊病毒和所有微生物病原體的研究，以及微生物群及其對各種宿主的健康和疾病的影響。研究方法包括分子微生物學(xué)、細(xì)胞微生物學(xué)、基因調(diào)控、蛋白質(zhì)組學(xué)、信號轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)、致病進(jìn)化、基因組學(xué)、結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)、毒力因子以及模型宿主。對抗宿主感染因子的研究領(lǐng)域包括宿主的先天和適應(yīng)性免疫反應(yīng)以及對各種病原微生物的代謝限制、針對各種病原微生物的疫苗設(shè)計(jì)和開發(fā)、抗生素耐藥機(jī)制及其對策。我們的主要目的之一是加快高質(zhì)量研究成果的科學(xué)交流，使這些成果在全球范圍內(nèi)公開和免費(fèi)獲得。我們的開放獲取方式將刺激研究活動(dòng)，并在全世界促進(jìn)這一領(lǐng)域和相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的科學(xué)知識
