國際微生物學(xué)旨在促進(jìn)和傳播基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用微生物學(xué)領(lǐng)域的研究在世界各地的科學(xué)家。“微生物學(xué)”一詞的廣義解釋是國際微生物學(xué)的一個(gè)顯著特征，因此它包括真核微生物(原生生物、酵母、霉菌)。除了同行評(píng)審、原創(chuàng)研究和評(píng)審文章外，該雜志還發(fā)表有關(guān)微生物學(xué)先驅(qū)的文章，以及與這一關(guān)鍵學(xué)科的歷史和社會(huì)學(xué)相關(guān)的主題，以及對微生物學(xué)新發(fā)現(xiàn)的評(píng)論。覆蓋范圍擴(kuò)展到微生物(病毒、細(xì)菌、古生菌、原生生物、酵母、霉菌);微生物生物學(xué)(遺傳學(xué)、生理學(xué)、生態(tài)學(xué)、病機(jī)學(xué));微生物應(yīng)用(環(huán)境、土壤、工業(yè)、食品和醫(yī)療微生物學(xué)、生物變質(zhì)、生物修復(fù)、生物技術(shù))和對杰出微生物學(xué)家和微生物學(xué)新發(fā)現(xiàn)的評(píng)論。《國際微生物學(xué)》是西班牙微生物學(xué)會(huì)的官方期刊。

International Microbiology aims to advance and disseminate research in the fields of basic and applied microbiology among scientists around the world. A broad interpretation of the term ‘microbiology’ is a distinguishing feature of International Microbiology, and as such it includes eukaryotic microorganisms (protists, yeast, molds). In addition to peer-reviewed, original research and review articles, the journal publishes articles on pioneering microbiologists and topics related to the history and sociology of this key discipline, as well as comments on new findings in microbiology.Coverage extends to such topics as microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, archaea, protists, yeasts, molds); microbial biology (genetics, physiology, ecology, pathogenesis); microbial applications (environmental, soil, industrial, food and medical microbiology, biodeterioration, bioremediation, biotechnology) and comments on outstanding microbiologists and new findings in microbiology.International Microbiology is the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology.
