Polish Journal of Microbiology publishes mainly original research articles including short communications, but also minireviews, book reviews and press releases. The PJM is now developing as a new information exchange platform for authors who publish research findings and reviews on the latest developments in the field of microbiology. All papers should be prepared according to “Instructions for Authors”. Submission of manuscripts in various areas of Microbiology is very welcome.
