Current Opinion in Microbiology (COM)

Current Opinion in Microbiology is a well‑established, bimonthly review journal published by Elsevier that distills recent progress and trends in microbiology into concise, authoritative syntheses. First launched in 1998, the journal has become a highly regarded source of expert perspectives on developments in microbial science, ecology, pathogenesis, and biotechnology. Each issue is organized into themed sections—such as host–microbe interactions (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites), cell regulation, environmental microbiology, microbiota, antimicrobials and microbial systems and synthetic biology—that are overseen by section editors and feature invited reviews by leaders in their fields. These articles emphasize interpretive commentary on the most impactful literature published in the preceding two years, helping readers quickly grasp the significance of new findings and open questions. The journal serves a broad audience including academic researchers, clinical microbiologists, and advanced students seeking up‑to‑date synthesis rather than primary research reports. As part of Elsevier’s CO+RE suite, Current Opinion in Microbiology combines international editorial expertise with high visibility on the ScienceDirect platform, making it an indispensable reference for scientists interested in cutting‑edge insights across the multidisciplinary landscape of microbial science.
