Journal of Bacteriology is a scientific journal that publishes research papers about bacteria. Bacteria are very small creatures that live all around us and some of them can be helpful to us, while some can make us sick. Scientists are constantly studying bacteria to figure out how they work and how we can use them to benefit our lives. The Journal of Bacteriology helps scientists share their findings with each other so they can work together to find out even more about bacteria and how they affect us.
