Welcome to BMC Microbiology published by BioMed Central
BMC Microbiology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in analytical and functional studies of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses and small parasites, as well as host and therapeutic responses to them.
BMC Microbiology (ISSN 1471-2180) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Microbiology 2009, 9 :5
A compartmentalized cell plan found in four species of Verrucomicrobia reveals an ultrastructure restricted to this phylum and the Planctomycetes, supporting the hypothesis that both these bacterial phyla belong to the same superphylum.
BMC Microbiology 2009, 9 :1
The problem of low pathogen numbers in clinical samples that hampers pathogen identification by DNA microarrays can be addressed by employing large-scale multiplex PCR with a set of 800 primer pairs
BMC Microbiology 2008, 8 :195
Human gut bacterial communities can now be easily profiled using a microarray that simultaneously identifies different species and can detect harmful bacteria in diseases such as ulcerative colitis.
