Svenska föreningen för mikrobiologi (SFM) is a life science membership organisation for individuals interested in microbiological sciences. The mission of SFM is to support the progress and growth of microbiology in Sweden and to be a vehicle for development of high quality fundamental and applied research among Swedish microbiologists.

SFM has currently about 200 members, located at universities, university colleges, research institutes and industry. The members of SFM represent a broad spectrum of subdisciplines, including general microbiology, molecular biology, microbial genetics, microbial ecology, microbial engineering, medical and veterinary microbiology, virology and immunology. In order to fulfil the demands of all the different fields, SFM make an effort to have a representation in the board from most of the various subdisciplines.

The main activity of SFM is the annual research meeting "Mikrobiologidagarna" that is alternating between the Universities of Stockholm, Uppsala, Lund, Gothenburg, Umeå and Linköping. Additionally, the society is supporting other research conferences and workshops as well as travel stipends to national and international meetings for graduate students. SFM represents Sweden in IUMS, FEMS, EFB and other international societies.
