*Date: 15 June 2026*
We are pleased to announce that **Microbes & Immunity (MI)** has been formally accepted for inclusion in the **CAB Abstracts** and **Global Health** databases, two authoritative abstract databases hosted by CAB International (CABI).
Following a comprehensive evaluation by the CABI review team, the scope and quality of MI were confirmed to align with the indexing criteria of both databases. Indexing coverage will commence with **Volume 2, Issue 1 (2025)**, and all eligible articles published in MI from this issue onward will be systematically selected, abstracted, and included in the databases. The journal’s metadata is fully accessible on our official website, enabling CABI to conduct ongoing indexing without requiring additional materials from the editorial office.
