對于那些希望保持在與嚴(yán)格厭氧菌生命過程有關(guān)的發(fā)現(xiàn)的最前沿的人來說，厭氧菌是必不可少的閱讀材料。它專門為國際社會創(chuàng)建，滿足了那些從事具有特殊學(xué)術(shù)，經(jīng)濟，醫(yī)學(xué)和獸醫(yī)重要性的生物群體的需求。該期刊是多學(xué)科的，為那些調(diào)查人類和動物厭氧菌引起的感染的人提供了一個獨特的論壇。Anaerobe發(fā)表原創(chuàng)研究文章，筆記和案例報告。歡迎評論和迷你評論，應(yīng)編輯的邀請。相關(guān)主題分為人類和動物疾病中的厭氧菌，微生物群中的厭氧菌，環(huán)境中的厭氧菌，臨床微生物實驗室中厭氧菌的診斷，分子生物學(xué)，遺傳學(xué)，發(fā)病機理，毒素和厭氧細(xì)菌的抗生素易感性等廣泛類別。描述用于研究嚴(yán)格厭氧細(xì)菌的創(chuàng)新方法，技術(shù)和應(yīng)用的論文也是令人感興趣的。如果新物種的描述還包括顯示其中分離的微生物組內(nèi)的新型表型特征，致病性和/或獨特代謝活性的信息，則將審查描述專性厭氧菌新物種的手稿。基于基因組信息僅與一個屬的其他相關(guān)成員不同的新厭氧物種將不予審查。

Anaerobe is essential reading for those wishing to remain at the forefront of discoveries relating to life processes of strict anaerobes. Created especially for the international community, it addresses the needs of those working on a group of organisms of exceptional academic, economic, medical, and veterinary importance. The journal is multi-disciplinary, and provides a unique forum for those investigating infections caused by anaerobic bacteria in humans and animals.Anaerobe publishes original research articles, notes and case reports. Reviews and mini reviews are welcome at the invitation of the editor. Relevant topics fall into the broad categories of Anaerobes in human and animal diseases, Anaerobes in the microbiome, Anaerobes in the environment, Diagnosis of anaerobes in clinical microbiology laboratories, Molecular biology, Genetics, Pathogenesis, Toxins and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Anaerobic Bacteria. Papers describing innovative methodologies, technologies, and applications to investigate strict anaerobic bacteria are also of interest. Manuscripts describing new species of obligate anaerobes will be reviewed if the description of the new species also includes information showing novel phenotypic characteristics, pathogenicity and/or unique metabolic activity within the microbiome from which it was isolated. New anaerobic species that are only different from other related members of a genus based on genomic information will not be reviewed.
