Future Microbiology has inevitably been impacted by the genomic revolution. Research into the extreme diversity of microbial organisms will lead to the elucidation of new biologic pathways and gene products, and thus potential therapeutic strategies to combat or prevent infection. The availability of both human and microbial genome sequences will enable scientists to better understand exactly how microbes interact with the hosts they infect, and how an individual’s genetic make-up influences their susceptibility to pathogens. Future Microbiology delivers essential information. Key advances in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts, providing an authoritative, but accessible, forum for this increasingly important and vast area of research
