Abstract

Since its inaugural issue nearly half a century ago, Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy has served as a premier source for reports on scientific and clinical advances in the field of antimicrobial chemotherapy. As a follow-up to the previous "History of Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy from 1972 to 1998" written by George A. Jacoby (Antimicrob Agents Chemother 43:999-1002, 1999, https://doi.org/10.1128/AAC.43.5.999), we herein highlight the further evolution of this comprehensive and authoritative journal in response to changing science, demographics, and information technology.
