Main description:

Based on the recent Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America sessions.

Focuses on a broad range of infectious agents that pose challenges for the clinical, laboratory, research, public health, and animal health communities.
Reflects the diversity of infectious agent threats in the 21st century. Some of these agents have been only recently discovered, such as the Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus. Others are known pathogens presenting new challenges, such as human adenovirus 14.

This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
