Reviews cover all disciplines of microbiology, including molecular biology, microbial genetics, microbial physiology, microbial biochemistry, microbial structure, microbial taxonomy, food microbiology, industrial microbiology, medical microbiology, epidemiology, public health, diagnostic microbiology, microbial ecology, and environmental microbiology. The reviews describe the current status of a field, placing the various contributions to that field in perspective. Authors of reviews are encouraged to critique the articles cited, indicating the significance of each article, its strengths and weaknesses. The reviews permit the authors latitude to express their own views of the field, the historical development of that field, its current status, and the future directions of that field.
