Open Microbiology

Open Microbiology is a movement that promotes free, transparent access to microbiological research, data, and education. It encourages scientists to share their findings openly to accelerate understanding of microorganisms—like bacteria, viruses, and fungi—which are essential to health, environment, and industry. By removing barriers to information, open microbiology fosters collaboration, innovation, and rapid advancement in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. This approach aims to make microbiological knowledge more accessible, enabling researchers and the public to better understand and respond to microbial-related challenges.
