From the Editor-in-Chief:

Since its launch in April 2000 Surgical Infections has highlighted critically important issues pertinent to a wide range of health care providers. Position papers and review articles in Surgical Infections have helped to shape many public health policies (Clinical Practice Guidelines for Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery, Surgical Infections. February 2013, 14: 73-156). Surgical Infections is the official Journal of the Surgical Infection Society-North America, Surgical Infection Society-Europe, Surgical Infection Society-Latin America, and the Chinese Society of Surgical Infection and Intensive Care. Members of these Societies are invited to submit their scientific and review articles to Surgical Infections.

Community-acquired, surgical site, and healthcare-associated infections are constantly changing and continue to be major prevention and management issues for all specialties in surgery. Surgical Infections will strive to be a premier source of information in the treatment of these patients.
