Surgeons ought to be aware of the organisms which can cause infection in their patients, as well as the pathophysiological responses they evoke. This article covers the community-acquired and healthcare-associated infections commonly seen in general surgical practice.

The clinical syndromes these organisms present with are described with the risk factors and which antibiotic regimens to consider as part of treatment.
