Gut Pathogens is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal soon to be launched by BioMed Central.

Gut Pathogens the official journal of The International Society for Genomic and Evolutionary Microbiology (ISOGEM), aims to provide a high-quality forum for research on the biology and pathogenesis of bacterial, parasitic and viral infections of the gut, including their diagnosis, epidemiology and clinical management.

Gut Pathogens aims to provide a much-needed open access home for high-quality research in this area.

Topical areas include, but are not limited to:

• Microbial etiology of gut ailments
• Gut invasion mechanisms
• Microbial toxins and virulence factors in infections of the gut and associated glands (liver, pancreas)
• Bacterial adaptation to gut niches and evolution of pathogenicity
• Biology and ecology of gut commensals and microbiota in health and disease
• Biology and ecology of probiotic organisms
• Host susceptibility or resistance to gut pathogens
• Immune mechanisms of gut infections
• Etiology of inflammatory bowel diseases
• Molecular and serological diagnosis
• Treatment and drug resistance mechanisms
• Molecular epidemiology, transmission dynamics and evolutionary genetics
• Vaccines for gut pathogens
• Comparative and veterinary infectious diseases of the gut.

Gut Pathogens is accepting submissions; please use the online submission system to submit your manuscript. For all enquiries about the journal, please contact: gut.pathogens@gmail.com

Gut Pathogens is published by BioMed Central, an independent publishing house committed to ensuring peer-reviewed biomedical research is open access - immediately and permanently available online without charge or any other barriers to access.
