《病原体与疾病》（Pathogens and Disease）是一本经过同行评审的学术期刊，由欧洲微生物学会联合会（FEMS）主办，并由牛津大学出版社出版。Pathogens and Disease is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS). 该期刊涵盖病原体微生物学、宿主与病原体相互作用以及传染病免疫学等相关领域的研究。The journal covers research in pathogen microbiology, host-pathogen interactions, and the immunology of infectious diseases.
该期刊发表关于病原体、宿主-病原体相互作用及宿主对感染反应的假设驱动与发现驱动的高水平原创性研究。The journal publishes outstanding hypothesis- and discovery-driven research on pathogens, host-pathogen interactions, and host responses to infection. 其涵盖的研究对象包括细菌、真菌、病毒以及寄生虫等各类致病性微生物。Its coverage encompasses diverse pathogenic agents including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. 发表的文章类型包括原创研究论文、简报、综述以及聚焦感染生物学关键热点的专题迷你综述。Article types published include original research articles, short communications, reviews, and thematic minireviews focusing on key aspects of infection biology.
该期刊的历史可以追溯到1988年创刊的《FEMS微生物免疫学》（FEMS Microbiology Immunology）。The history of the journal traces back to FEMS Microbiology Immunology, which was established in 1988. 1993年，该期刊更名为《FEMS免疫学与医学微生物学》（FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology）。In 1993, the periodical was renamed FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology. 2013年，期刊正式更名为《病原体与疾病》，以更好地体现其聚焦于感染机理及宿主防御的研究重点。In 2013, the journal officially adopted the title Pathogens and Disease to better reflect its focus on infection biology and host defenses.
该期刊的主编为英国帝国理工学院的加德·弗兰克尔（Gad Frankel）教授。The Editor-in-Chief of the journal is Professor Gad Frankel from Imperial College London. 弗兰克尔教授的研究专长集中在革兰氏阴性菌致病机制与抗微生物药物耐药性领域。Professor Frankel specializes in the molecular pathogenesis of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. 墨尔本大学的副教授海莉·牛顿（Hayley Newton）亦曾担任该刊共同主编。Associate Professor Hayley Newton from the University of Melbourne has also served as co-Editor-in-Chief of the journal. 期刊由一个国际知名学者组成的编辑委员会共同协助运作，负责管理各细分方向的同行评审流程。The journal is supported by an international editorial board of experts who oversee peer-review processes in specialized topic areas.
