About this archive

This site is an archival rebuild of the research journals of the Society for General Microbiology (SGM), presented at a single domain to preserve the published research record and the many citations that point to it.

The Society for General Microbiology was a not-for-profit, society-owned publisher of peer-reviewed microbiology research, spanning bacteriology, virology, genomics, taxonomy, and medical microbiology. Its portfolio included Microbiology, the Journal of General Virology, the Journal of Medical Microbiology, the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, and JMM Case Reports.

Content here is rebuilt from a recovered archive of the original site. Article text, author names, references, and figures are preserved as published; the original platform's navigation, scripts, and login were removed. Where only citation metadata could be recovered, a page shows that metadata and notes that the full text is not available in the archive.

The Society's journals are now published by the Microbiology Society; for current journals and services, please refer to its websites.
