The Journal of Antibiotics seeks to promote research on antibiotics and related types of medicinal substances. The journal will accept biochemical, chemical, microbiological and pharmacological studies. However, studies regarding human therapy do not fall under the journal's scope. Contributions regarding antibiotics and bioactive microbial products are particularly encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal's scope include, but are not limited to, those listed below:
•Discovery of new antibiotics and related microbial products
•Production, isolation, characterization, structural elucidation, chemical synthesis and derivatization, biological activities, mechanisms of action, and structure-activity relationships of antibiotics and related microbial products
•Biosynthesis, bioconversion, taxonomy and genetic studies on producing microorganisms, as well as improvement of production of antibiotics and related microbial products
•Novel physical, chemical, biochemical, microbiological or pharmacological methods for detection, assay, determination, structural elucidation and evaluation of antibiotics and related microbial products
•Newly found properties, mechanisms of action and resistance-development of antibiotics and related microbial products
The Journal of Antibiotics's original articles cover new theories and primary research. The journal also publishes regular short reviews, book reviews, and news and commentary articles.
