Journal of Bacteriology (JB)

Journal of Bacteriology is one of the oldest and most respected scientific journals dedicated to fundamental research in bacteriology and microbial sciences. Established in 1916 and published by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM), it has a long legacy of advancing scientific knowledge about bacteria and other microorganisms. The journal publishes original research articles that examine the biology of bacteria and related microbes through rigorous experimental, genetic, and molecular studies. Its scope includes investigations into bacterial physiology and metabolism, gene expression and regulation, cell structure and function, microbial communication, biofilm formation, host‑microbe interactions, and the mechanisms that underlie infection and pathogenesis. Researchers also use the journal to report insights into microbial ecology and evolutionary processes that shape bacterial populations and communities. The journal adopts a monthly publication schedule, enabling continuous dissemination of high‑quality research to the global scientific community. Articles undergo rigorous peer review, ensuring that contributions meet high standards of scientific excellence and clarity. As a hybrid journal, Journal of Bacteriology offers delayed open access after an embargo period, broadening access to published work. With its century‑long history and leadership in the field, the journal continues to be an essential platform for microbiologists, geneticists, and biomedical scientists whose work informs both basic biological understanding and practical applications in health, agriculture, and biotechnology.
