Pathogen genome sequencing projects have provided a wealth of data that need to be set in context to pathogenicity and the outcome of infections. In addition, the interplay between a pathogen and its host cell has become increasingly important to understand and interfere with diseases caused by microbial pathogens. IJMM meets these needs by focussing on genome and proteome analyses, studies dealing with the molecular mechanisms of pathogenicity and the evolution of pathogenic agents, the interactions between pathogens and host cells ("cellular microbiology"), and molecular epidemiology. To help the reader keeping up with the rapidly evolving new findings in the field of medical microbiology, IJMM publishes original articles, case studies and topical, state-of-the-art mini-reviews in a well balanced fashion. All articles are strictly peer-reviewed. Important topics are reinforced by 2 special issues per year dedicated to a particular theme. Finally, at irregular intervals, current opinions on recent or future developments in medical microbiology are presented in an editorial section.

病原体基因组测序项目提供了大量数据，需要结合致病性和感染结果进行分析。此外，病原体与宿主细胞之间的相互作用对于理解和干预微生物病原体引起的疾病变得越来越重要。IJMM 通过专注于基因组和蛋白质组分析、涉及致病性的分子机制和致病因子进化的研究、病原体与宿主细胞之间的相互作用（“细胞微生物学”）以及分子流行病学来满足这些需求。为了帮助读者跟上医学微生物学领域快速发展的新发现，IJMM 以均衡的方式发表原创文章、案例研究和主题、最先进的迷你评论。所有文章都经过严格的同行评审。每年有 2 期专门针对特定主题的特别期刊来强调重要主题。最后，不定期地，在社论部分中介绍有关医学微生物学近期或未来发展的最新观点。
