Biomedicines | Hot Papers in the “Microbiology in Human Health and Disease” Section
Microorganisms are an essential part of life on Earth, playing an important role in almost every natural cycle. The “Microbiology in Human Health and Disease” Section focuses on microbiology in human health and diseases, including infectious diseases, the interaction between pathogenic microorganisms and hosts, bacteriology, mycology, virology, and parasitology. The point of view of the Section is that microorganisms and public health are closely intertwined, and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
