The intestinal microbiota plays a pivotal role in human physiology. Characterizing its structure and function has implications for health and disease, impacting nutrition and obesity, brain function, allergic responses, immunity, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer development, cardiac disease, liver disease, and others.
Gut Microbes provides a platform for presenting and discussing cutting-edge research on all aspects of microorganisms populating the intestine. The journal focuses in particular on mechanistic and cause and effect studies.
Gut Microbes is the sister journal of Gut Microbes Reports , which has a greater focus on emerging topics and comparative and incremental studies.
Gut Microbes brings together a multidisciplinary community of scientists working in the areas of:
- Profiling the intestinal microbiota
- Gastrointestinal disease: mechanisms, host defense, diagnosis, epidemiology
- Host-pathogen interactions including enteric disease and bacterial pathogenesis
- Quorum sensing and toxicity
- Probiotics and prebiotics
- Novel treatments and clinical trials
- Role of intestinal microbiota in health and disease
Gut Microbes accepts Research Papers/Reports, Reviews, Brief Reports, Research Letters, Commentaries and Views, Creative Commentaries, Meeting Reports, Data Notes, Invited Editorials for publication.
*Please note that Gut Microbes converted to a fully open access journal beginning with Volume 12 (2020). The Print ISSN is not in active use as this journal is no longer published in print.
