Aims and Scope
Aims & Scope
Community Acquired Infection (CAI) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and clinical practice in the field of community-acquired infections (CAIs). The journal provides a premier platform for the dissemination of high-quality research that addresses the entire spectrum of CAIs, from basic science and pathogenesis to clinical management, prevention, and the broader ethical and societal implications.
Our scope encompasses, but is not limited to, the following areas:
-
Pathogenesis & Microbiology: Research on the mechanisms of infection, host-pathogen interactions, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and the epidemiology of causative pathogens.
-
Clinical Research & Diagnosis: Studies focusing on the clinical manifestations, novel diagnostic techniques, differential diagnosis, and prognostic factors of CAIs affecting various organ systems, including respiratory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and skin and soft tissues.
-
Therapeutics & Pharmacology: Investigations into novel antimicrobial agents, optimized treatment regimens, vaccine development and evaluation, and strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance.
-
Epidemiology & Public Health: Population-based studies, surveillance reports, outbreak investigations, and research on infection prevention and control strategies in community settings.
-
Interdisciplinary Approaches: The journal welcomes contributions that integrate insights from Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Basic Medical Research, and Pharmacology, reflecting the multifaceted nature of CAIs.
CAI prioritizes manuscripts with clear clinical relevance and implications that can directly impact patient care and public health policy. We are committed to fostering a global dialogue among clinicians, microbiologists, public health experts, and researchers to improve outcomes against community-acquired infections worldwide.
Article Types
Articles types published by the journal include by not limited to: Editorial, Original Article, Review Article, Case Report, Letter to Editor, Commentary, Perspective, Highlight, Training Course.
