The field of Microbiology, in particular that of Bacteriology, has changed dramatically over the last 20 years, due to new technologies and new approaches that have benefited all fields of biology. The papers in this volume arise from a 2-day meeting entitled ‘The New Bacteriology’ held on 28 and 29 January 2016 at the Royal Society in London in partnership with the French Academy of Sciences and the German Leopoldina. It aimed to highlight new concepts and approaches that have led to a bona fide renaissance in the discipline of Bacteriology.
