Scope

Four research domains, one question: why treatment stops working

The journal publishes basic, experimental, clinical and public-health research on antimicrobial resistance. The topics below are examples, not a closed list.

Resistance mechanisms

  • Genetic determinants of resistance
  • Horizontal gene transfer
  • Efflux pumps and target modification
  • Biofilms and persistence

Clinical microbiology and infectious diseases

  • Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections
  • Drug-resistant tuberculosis
  • Antiviral and antifungal resistance
  • Antimalarial and parasitic drug resistance

Diagnostics and surveillance

  • Rapid resistance detection
  • Genomic prediction of resistance
  • Outbreak investigation
  • Regional and global monitoring

Therapeutics and stewardship

  • Antibiotic discovery and combinations
  • Phage and peptide approaches
  • Stewardship and infection control
  • One Health perspectives
