About the Journal of Infection

The Journal of Infection publishes original papers on all aspects of infection - clinical, microbiological and epidemiological. The Journal seeks to bring together knowledge from all specialties involved in infection research and clinical practice, and present the best work in the ever-changing field of infection.

Each issue brings you Editorials that describe current or controversial topics of interest, high quality Reviews to keep you in touch with the latest developments in specific fields of interest, an Epidemiology section reporting studies in the hospital and the general community, and a lively correspondence section.

Also featured is the regular Science and Practice series of commissioned review articles, juxtaposing the underlying science and clinical management of a wide range of common infections. The series gives the consensus between the findings of practitioner and those of the laboratory reseracher.
