Clinical Microbiology and Infection (CMI) is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal publishing original research and review articles that assist physicians and microbiologists in their management of patients and the prevention of infectious diseases. CMI publishes manuscripts presenting the results of original research in clinical microbiology, infectious diseases, bacteriology, mycology, virology, and parasitology, including immunology and epidemiology as related to these fields. The journal website offers online articles and issues as well as collections according to article type. The journal also publishes editorials, commentaries, and reviews, as well as guidelines originating from ESCMID Study Groups. These guidelines and collections make CMI a reference source for infectious disease researchers, for practicing clinicians, and for informing people of emerging infections and new outbreaks.[1]
