The Lancet Microbe

The Lancet Microbe is dedicated to publishing important research about microbes that have clinical significance, covering a wide range of topics. This includes the characteristics of microbes, such as antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors, as well as studies on the microbiome, pathology—including immunology—and the impact on populations, like outbreaks and epidemiology. The journal will also feature early-stage clinical trials and other intervention studies that focus on pathogens. The Lancet Microbe aims to be a premier platform for high-quality microbiology-related clinical research, adhering to the high standards expected from other journals in the Lancet family. True to the Lancet's values, The Lancet Microbe will actively support and collaborate with the microbial research community.
