Welcome to BMC Microbiology published by BioMed Central
BMC Microbiology is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in analytical and functional studies of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, viruses and small parasites, as well as host and therapeutic responses to them, and their interaction with the environment.
BMC Microbiology (ISSN 1471-2180) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, EMBASE, Scopus, FSTA, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Consumption of apple pectin, but not whole apples or other apple products, increases the population of Clostridiales species producing butyrate and beta-glucuronidase in the intestines of rats, while depressing populations of Bacteroidetes.
BMC Microbiology 2010, 10 :10
Polar bears living in the pristine Svalbard area of Norway have a low diversity of bacteria in their feces, harboring mostly anaerobic bacteria from the genus Clostridia, and very few ampicillin resistance blaTEM alleles.
BMC Microbiology 2010, 10 :7
Polyphosphate deficient bacteria Pseudomonas sp. B4 have aberrant colony morphology, lipopolysaccharide structure and cell division and show a general stress response, increasing energy-generating metabolism pathways and decreasing energy-consuming pathways to compensate.
