The Microbiology Society's founding journal, Microbiology, has been publishing the latest advances in microbiology since 1947 (then the Journal of General Microbiology). Today, the publication reflects the diversity and importance of microbiology in addressing current global challenges, such as food security, environmental sustainability, and health, publishing fundamental and applied research across the breadth of the field.

Dr Sarah Walsh, Rebecca Ross, Prof Pablo Murcia and Prof Edward Hutchinson at the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, UK, take us behind the scenes of their latest publication, 'Bovine mammary tissues are susceptible to infection by viruses bearing panzootic H5N1 influenza A virus glycoproteins' , published in Microbiology.

Bárbara Cipulo Legabão, Ana Luisa Perini Leme Giordano and Prof Angelica Zaninelli Schreiber at the University of Campinas, Brazil, take us behind the scenes of their latest publication, 'A simplified MALDI-TOF MS method for rapid fluconazole susceptibility testing in Candida species', published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology.

Research published in Microbiology finds low-power blue light could be the key to significantly reducing food poisoning caused by raw chicken in the UK, scientists at the University of Reading have found.

Each month, the Microbiology Society publishes the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, which details newly discovered species of bacteria, fungi and protists. New to Science is a monthly blog series unravelling these latest microbial discoveries.

📣 Episode 187 is out now! It's the most abundant eukaryotic microbe in humans… But what role does it play in our bodies? For decades, Blastocystis has been thought of as a parasite just like other protists that lurk within humans, such as Plasmodium or Giardia. But research is increasingly finding the opposite to be true, and scientists across the world are fighting to change this perception.

Dr Mehrad Hamidian at the University of Technology, Australia, takes us behind the scenes of their latest publication 'The (un)successful global spread of Acinetobacter baumannii ST3', published in Microbial Genomics.

Each month, the Microbiology Society publishes the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, which details newly discovered species of bacteria, fungi and protists. New to Science is a monthly blog series unravelling these latest microbial discoveries.

📣 Episode 186 is out now! This month, Lilly welcomes Dr Jason Brown from the University of Glasgow to discuss his latest research findings using cold atmospheric plasma (CAP), a form of ionised gas, against biofilms in wound infections. Listen in to hear their discussion of what CAP therapy is, how it works, and why this treatment could be a useful alternative to antibiotics. 

New research at Aston University has shown that a variety of compounds is responsible for the antimicrobial action of mānuka honey, not just the sugar content and methylglyoxal (MGO) alone, as previously thought.

Each month, the Microbiology Society publishes the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, which details newly discovered species of bacteria, fungi and protists. New to Science is a monthly blog series unravelling these latest microbial discoveries.

Murdoch University research maps the genes that make the salt-loving genus Salinivibrio, a promising host for bioplastic production.

📣 Episode 185 is out now! This month, Lilly welcomes Dr Hannah Trivett from the University of Birmingham to the podcast, to discuss her latest publication bringing patient and public involvement (PPI) and microbial genomics research together for the first time ever. Listen in to hear their discussion of what the public think about effective science communication and how researchers can benefit from incorporating this into their work.

Dr Seána Duggan at the MRC Centre for Medical Mycology (MRC CMM) at the University of Exeter, UK, takes us behind the scenes of their latest publication Copper-driven mutualism of Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus interkingdom biofilms, published in Microbiology.

Scientists have discovered that two common human pathogens can work together by managing copper in their shared environment - a finding that could open new ways to break down stubborn mixed biofilms.

We are delighted to share a metrics update from across our portfolio, which showcases a range of measures of engagement with each title in the last year (for those that have been publishing for over a year).

Dr Claire Oastler at the Animal and Plant Health Agency, UK, takes us behind the scenes of their latest publication, 'Biofilm-forming capability of Salmonella isolates sourced from poultry production and farm environments in Great Britain', published in the Journal of Medical Microbiology.

We are looking to appoint Editors to play a vital role in Access Microbiology, ensuring the publication of high-quality research and fostering engagement within the Microbiology community.

Each month, the Microbiology Society publishes the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, which details newly discovered species of bacteria, fungi and protists. Here are some of the new species that have been discovered and the places they've been found.
