MetaResistome

An International Journal of Antimicrobial Resistance, Pathogen Genomics & Microbial Surveillance

Hybrid

Advancing Pathogen Intelligence Through Open Genomic Science

MetaResistome is an independent, peer-reviewed hybrid journal dedicated to publishing foundational and translational research on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), whole-genome sequencing of high-threat pathogens, wastewater metagenomics, and One Health surveillance.

Governed by active domain researchers and free from commercial publisher constraints, MetaResistome provides rapid, constructive peer review focused on methodological transparency and data reproducibility.
