Gut Pathogens is an open-access journal focusing on the study of pathogens that affect the gastrointestinal tract, exploring their interactions with the host and the gut microbiome. It offers insights into the mechanisms of pathogenesis, host immune responses, and potential therapeutic interventions for a wide range of enteric infections and related diseases. With a broad scope, Gut Pathogens aims to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical applications.
The journal highlights research on bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that colonize or infect the gut. Topics covered include microbial virulence factors, host defense mechanisms, inflammatory responses, and the impact of gut pathogens on overall health. Gut Pathogens serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals working to understand and combat gastrointestinal infections and their associated complications. It is indexed in major databases, including PubMed Central.
By disseminating cutting-edge knowledge, Gut Pathogens strives to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of gut-related diseases, benefiting patients worldwide. Submissions of high-quality research articles are encouraged to further advance the field.
