1. The contents of Microbes and Infection
Microbes and Infection publishes 15 peer-reviewed issues per year with the most advanced research in all fields of infection and immunity. The journal brings together original reports, reviews, and discussion papers dealing with the different levels of host-microbe interactions, and in particular
- the molecular and cell biology of interactions between hosts and microbes (viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi; also prions)
- the local response of infected organs and tissues, including local immunity and pathology
- animal models of infectious diseases, including defense against microorganisms in non-mammalian organisms
- vaccine development
- clinical and epidemiological studies
Selected case reports will be regularly included, along with brief accounts of clinical trials and major improvements in diagnosis.
Three special issues a year will focus on the present knowledge of a virulent microbe and the disease it causes, or on critical issues relevant to the scope of the journal.
2. Types of papers
- original reports
- reviews
- discussion papers
- special issues (commissioned)
- correspondence
3. How to submit a manuscript
Send the submission form and 2 printouts of your manuscript (including one set of original illustrations) + a diskette (3.5 inches), CD-ROM or Zip disk with the corresponding file (do not send your files by e-mail) to
Patricia Sherman Shapiro
Editorial Manager

If a member of the editorial board gives prior consent, it is possible to submit an original report directly to the latter. Proposals for reviews may be addressed to the review editor.
4. Format
4.1. General format
Double-space throughout (including references, figure legends and table footnotes). Use 2.5-cm (1 in.)-wide margins on all four sides. Number each page top right. Each new paragraph starts with an indented line. Differentiate between zero and the letter O, and between the number one and the letter l. Mark (X) the position of each table and figure in the margin.
4.2. Digital files
A diskette (3.5 inches), Zip?or CD-ROM with the corresponding files must be sent with the manuscript. In order to avoid the risk of macroviruses and incompatibility between software, please save your article in an RTF version of Word.
4.2.1. Files of figures are separate from the file of the text. The printer will scan hard copies of any figures which are not saved in TIFF or EPS exclusively.
4.2.2. Files of tables are separate from the file of the text. All tables are saved in an RTF version of Word exclusively. (When making tables, use "insert" command and not "tabulation").
It is the authors' responsibility to make sure that the version of the article on diskette corresponds exactly to the accepted version of the manuscript.
5. Conventions
5.1. Microorganisms:
Follow guidelines of the International Nomenclature Committee. Genus and species are written in full the first time the name appears in text; subsequently, only use the first letter of the genus, followed by the species (e.g. Escherichia coli, then E. coli.)
5.2. Units of measurement:
Follow the Syst鑝e International (SI). Always leave a space between the number and the unit (e.g. 100  C, 25 mg).
5.3. Use of italic/roman type
Genetic loci are italicized; protein products of the loci are not italicized.
Latin words in current use, such as in vitro/vivo/situ, via, et al., a posteriori, etc., are not italicized (note the use of abbreviative points for expressions such as cf., e.g., i.e., et al., etc., which appear in roman type).
5.4. When using Greek letters, use the "font" command and not "insert".
6. Organization of original reports
6.1. Title page
Title: avoid using uppercase letters other than the first word.
Authors' names: full first name followed by family name of each author. Superscript letters (a, b, etc.), not numbers, link the author's name to his/her affiliation. The name of the author responsible for correspondence and proof correction is indicated by an asterisk (*). Do not use 'and' before the last author's name.
Affiliations: department and/or laboratory, college, university, and full postal address of each author are listed under and linked to the authors' names.
Up-to-date telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and present, complete postal address of the corresponding author appear separately on the title page.
6.2. Abstract and keywords
Abstract: a maximum of 250 words, written so as to be accessible to a wide audience, summarizing the objective, materials, methods, results and major conclusions. Do not use references, footnotes or abbreviations in the abstract.
Keywords: below the abstract, provide a list of at least 3 keywords which exist in the MeSH?thesaurus. They are in lowercase and bold letters, separated by slashes (/). They are used for indexing your paper and express the precise content.
6.3. Abbreviations
Used as an aid to the reader (therefore, sparingly), for words used at least 3 times, they are defined in the text the first time they appear, followed by the abbrevation in parentheses. Use this abbreviation thereafter. Also provide an alphabetized list of abbreviations used, with their corresponding definitions.
6.4. Main text of original reports
Each chapter is numbered according to international standard (1. - 1.1. - 1.1.1., etc.).
Model for numbering of chapters
1. Introduction
2. Materials and methods
2.1. Infection models
2.1.1. Mouse model
Introduction: it outlines the background of the study; it should not summarize the results.
Materials and Methods: avoid the use of commercial names.
Results: present the observations, with minimal reference to earlier literature and to interpretations.
Discussion: major findings. Avoid repeating parts of the Results.
Acknowledgements: personal acknowledgements precede those of agencies and institutions and are in separate paragraphs.
6.5. Tables (See chapter 4.2.2. above for digital file information)
6.5.1. Indicate where in the text tables should appear: these call-outs for tables are written as "Table 1, Table 2, " etc.
6.5.2. Tables themselves are consecutively numbered with arabic numerals (Table 1, 2, etc.), in bold, according to the order of appearance in the main text. Each table carries a short title describing its contents in relation to the main text. Except for the heading and bottom of the table, avoid horizontal dividing lines; vertical lines are completely omitted from any table. Instead, the first column is left-aligned, and other columns are generally centered. Only the first letter of each heading is capitalized, and any units appear in parentheses after or under the corresponding heading in roman characters. Footnotes are collected under a table and referred to in the table by superscript letters (a, b, etc.). References in tables are numbered between square brackets, e.g., [5].
6.6. Figures and their legends (See chapter 4.2.1. above for digital file information)
6.6.1. Indicate where in the text figures should appear: these call-outs are written as "Fig.1, Fig.2", etc.
6.6.2. The complete list of figure legends (including title for each) appears on a separate sheet. Figures are consecutively numbered with arabic numerals (Fig. 1, 2, etc.), according to the order of appearance in the main text.
6.6.3. Figures*: submit one set of high-quality original illustrations (also original photographs) and one set of copies. Each figure appears on a separate sheet; each part of a composite figure is labeled separately (e.g., A, B, etc.) by the author. Lettering must remain legible after reduction of the illustration to one-column width (8.4 cm). Use lettering (symbols, numbers, etc.) in the illustrations in a consistent way. Magnification is indicated by a bar scale. On the back of each sheet, write its number and the name of the first author, in light pencil, and indicate the top margin. (Attach sheets to end of paper, after references). Maximum size of figure : 17.7 x 23.6 cm (in this case, the legend appears on the opposite page when published).
*Microbes and Infection does not charge authors for reproduction of color or black and white illustrations.
6.7. References
6.7.1 In main text
Numbered references appear in the main text between square brackets ([1], [2, 3], [4-7], etc.), in the order of appearance in the text, from 1 to n.
6.7.2. In reference list
The list of numbered references appears after the figure legends. Numbering corresponds to the references in the text; the list is not in alphabetical order. Journal titles are abbreviated according to Index Medicus and Biosis. Only published work and manuscripts in press (indicate the journal which has accepted them) appear in the list. Manuscripts in the submitted stage, or in preparation, and personal communications are designated "unpublished" in the text but are not numbered and do not appear in the list at the end.
Note the order/style of the following examples. Use square brackets for the numbering. Note the use (or absence) of commas and periods, and of abbreviations for journals.
