Extract

This article marks the beginning of a new section in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology. The section will focus on the global status of infection control. Readers who are interested in submitting articles are encouraged to do so. Articles could include an overview of infection control practices in a specific country, problems that have arisen in translating practices from the United States to another country problems related to nosocomial pathogens that are not likely to be found in U.S. hospitals, antimicrobial usage patterns, and other important topics that would give the readership a perspective on the status of infection control in countries outside the United States. If you would like your original article, review, or commentary considered for this section, please so state in your cover letter when you submit your manuscript to the editorial office.
