Welcome from Norman Fry and Kalai Mathee, new co-Editors-in-Chief for the Journal of Medical Microbiology.

It is a great honour and pleasure for both of us to take on the role of co-Editors-in-Chief for the Journal of Medical Microbiology. We are deeply indebted to the outgoing Editor-in-Chief, Professor Peter Borriello, for his strong leadership and guidance throughout his term. We intend to do our utmost to both preserve and grow his legacy. Whilst we recognize that co-editorship spanning two continents is breaking new ground for Journal of Medical Microbiology, we believe that it is also an acknowledgement of the increasingly international nature of the journal.
