A new tool in the fight against healthcare-associated infection

2

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control (ARIC) has launched with BioMed Central today.

Led by Andreas Voss, ARIC is a global forum for the scientific community working on the prevention, diagnosis  and treatment of healthcare-associated infections.

Healthcare-associated infections are on the rise because of changes in healthcare systems and the spread of antimicrobial-resistant strains of both new and well-known pathogens. With increasing numbers of people travelling nationally and internationally, borders to transmission of infections no longer exist and fighting healthcare-associated infections has truly become a global challenge.

Therefore, it is important to share knowledge in this field on a global scale. This was highlighted at the 1st International Conference on Prevention and Infection Control and consequently ARIC was born.

With the support of an internationally recognized Editorial Board, ARIC aims to become the leading resource for the dissemination of scientific knowledge on all aspects of healthcare-associated infections. Please visit the journal website to learn more about the ARIC and to submit your research.
