Journal Title：International Journal Of Medical Microbiology

Pathogen genome sequencing projects have provided a wealth of data that need to be set in context to pathogenicity and the outcome of infections. In addition, the interplay between a pathogen and its host cell has become increasingly important to understand and interfere with diseases caused by microbial pathogens. IJMM meets these needs by focussing on genome and proteome analyses, studies dealing with the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity and the evolution of pathogenic agents, the interactions between pathogens and host cells ("cellular microbiology"), and molecular epidemiology. To help the reader keeping up with the rapidly evolving new findings in the field of medical microbiology, IJMM publishes original articles, case studies and topical, state-of-the-art mini-reviews in a well balanced fashion. All articles are strictly peer-reviewed. Important topics are reinforced by 2 special issues per year dedicated to a particular theme. Finally, at irregular intervals, current opinions on recent or future developments in medical microbiology are presented in an editorial section.

病原體基因組測序項目提供了大量數據，需要結合致病性和感染結果進行分析。此外，病原體與宿主細胞之間的相互作用對于理解和干預微生物病原體引起的疾病變得越來越重要。IJMM 通過專注于基因組和蛋白質組分析、涉及致病性的分子機制和致病因子進化的研究、病原體與宿主細胞之間的相互作用（“細胞微生物學”）以及分子流行病學來滿足這些需求。為了幫助讀者跟上醫學微生物學領域快速發展的新發現，IJMM 以均衡的方式發表原創文章、案例研究和主題、最先進的迷你評論。所有文章都經過嚴格的同行評審。每年有 2 期專門針對特定主題的特別期刊來強調重要主題。最后，不定期地，在社論部分中介紹有關醫學微生物學近期或未來發展的最新觀點。

International Journal Of Medical Microbiology創刊于2000年，由Urban und Fischer Verlag GmbH und Co. KG出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫學 - 病毒學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 約5.2周，影響因子指數4.5，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
