The publication Anti-infective Guidelines for Community-acquired Infections was developed with input from a mix of health professionals with expertise in several fields and practising in a variety of clinical settings. In addition, hundreds of health professionals have provided comments on various editions and this has helped create a very practical and relevant document. We sincerely thank all reviewers for their input and ongoing support.

This publication can be used as a complementary, educational tool, focusing primarily on managing community-acquired infections and when necessary assisting in the selection of appropriate antibiotics.
