JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY

Abstract

The Journal of Clinical Microbiology (JCM) is devoted to the dissemination of new knowledge concerning the microbiological aspects of human and animal infections and infestations, particularly their etiological agents, diagnosis, and epidemiology. Case Reports will be considered if they are novel, add to existing knowledge, and are oriented toward microbiology. (See “Case Reports” below for a description of the two different types of Case Reports published.) Manuscripts describing members of the “normal” human microbiota that become involved in disease production or complication and manuscripts dealing with the interactions of hospitalized patients and the microbial environment of the hospital may also be submitted for consideration.
