History
editThe journal was established in 1970. Prior to that time, original research articles covering topics in infection and immunity were published in a section of the Journal of Bacteriology. As the size of this section grew, the need for a separate journal publishing peer-reviewed research in this area became apparent.[1] The first editor-in-chief was Erwin Neter (SUNY Buffalo).
