Microbial Pathogenesis publishes original contributions and reviews about the molecular and cellular mechanisms of infectious diseases. It covers microbiology, host-pathogen interaction and immunology related to infectious agents, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa.

Microbial pathogenesis is a field of microbiology that started at least as early as 1988, with the identification of the triune Falkow's criteria, aka molecular Koch's postulates.

Steps of bacterial pathogenesis: (1) Bacterial exposure to host through air, food, infected person, and environment, (2) Colonization of the bacteria inside host within specific organs, tissues, and cells, (3) Evasion of immune response through diverse strategies, and (4) generating negative impact on host by causing infection.

This explains the diversity of infection modes, target cells, and molecular mechanisms underpinning bacterial pathogenesis.

Microbial pathogenesis is the ability of microbes, or their components, to cause infection in a host after developing a complex mode of interactions from both hosts and pathogens. During the long course of evolution, disease-causing pathogenic microbes have developed a variety of virulence mechanisms and virulence encoding factors or genes ...

Conduct high-impact research that pushes the boundaries of knowledge and catalyzes transformative breakthroughs in Microbial Pathogenesis; To translate our research into clinically useful compounds and vaccines that will blunt the global impact of infectious diseases.

Pathogenesis refers both to the mechanism of infection and to the mechanism by which disease develops. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the many bacterial virulence factors and, where possible, to indicate how they interact with host defense mechanisms and to describe their role in the pathogenesis of disease.
