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, Scopus, EMBASE, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

The phenylacetic acid catabolic genes of an opportunistic pathogen of patients with cystic fibrosis, Burkholderia cenocepacia K56-2, are induced by phenylacetic acid, negatively regulated by a TetT-type regulator and catabolically repressed by glucose and succinate.
BMC Microbiology 2009, 9:221
Gene expression profiling of the microbial content of the periodontal pockets of patients with the inflammatory gum disease periodontitis, shows that colonization levels of several bacteria correlate with gene expression in the adjacent gum tissue.
BMC Microbiology 2009, 9:216
The cytoplasmic membrane protein RipA in the gram-negative bacteria Francisella tularensis is required for growth, its expression is pH sensitive and it is negatively regulated by the transcriptional regulators MglA and SspA.
