Microorganisms are an essential part of life on earth and play an important role in almost every natural cycle. The “Microbiology in Human Health and Disease” Section of Biomedicines (ISSN: 2227-9059) focuses on microbiology in human health and diseases, including infectious diseases, the interaction between pathogenic microorganisms and hosts, bacteriology, mycology, virology and parasitology. This Section is based on the knowledge that microorganisms and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
