BMC Series Focus Issues

November: Infection and health

The BMC Series journals would like to dedicate their November focus issue to the recent research into infections and health highlighting four key topics within research on infection - the biology, recent advances in detection and diagnosis, the risk factors and incidence reports and finally on the advances in treatment and combating of infection. Browse the articles in the focus issue further to learn more.

October: Focus on Stem Cells

With Stem Cell Awareness day on the 13th October this year we have compiled an article collection from across different BMC Series journals covering aspects of basic stem cell biology; in vitro differentiation studies; stem-cell based therapy studies for various conditions in animal models; technical advancements and ethical issues.

Featured Articles

Soil microbes and deterioration

This study finds that changes in soil microbial communities can influence and are associated with deterioration of the earthen site over time.

Paternal weight influences offspring's intestines

In this recent study, authors find that paternal weight of ducks influence the offspring's small intestine function and cecal microbiome.

How to keep the honeybees healthy during winter?

This recent study finds that feeding the honeybees sucrose during the winter alters their gut microbiome helping them survive the cold.

Aims and scope

BMC Microbiology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all microorganisms - bacteria, archaea, algae and fungi, viruses, unicellular parasites and helminths. It considers studies on all aspects of the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms including but not limited to cell biology, genomics, signalling, the interaction of the microbes with the environment and host, mechanistic and functional insights into infection and disease, and biotechnological application in science and industry.

Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.

You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences).

More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.
