The PubMed subsets (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/pubmed_subsets.html) are far from covering all the medical specialities. In a brief series, the Internet Page of JEAHIL will attempt to compensate for this deficiency by indicating MeSH terms (as well as journals and major web sites) concerning the different medical specialities. 

1. The MeSH terms & Subheadings (unique or "parent" headings) :  

• anti-infective agents

• bacterial infections and mycoses

• carrier state

• disease transmission

• drug resistance, microbial

• infection control

• microbiology (sh)

• parasitic diseases

• parasitology (sh)

• patient isolators

• transmission (sh)

• tropical medicine

• virus diseases

These terms may be used to create a strategy in PubMed with the help of MyNCBI (http://myncbi.notlong.com), such as:
 
"anti-infective agents"[MeSH Terms] OR "bacterial infections and mycoses"[MeSH Terms] OR "carrier state"[MeSH Terms] OR "disease transmission"[MeSH Terms] OR "drug resistance, microbial"[MeSH Terms] OR "infection control"[MeSH Terms] OR "parasitic diseases"[MeSH Terms] OR "patient isolators"[MeSH Terms] OR "tropical medicine"[MeSH Terms] OR "virus diseases"[MeSH Terms] OR "transmission"[Subheading]

2. The Journals: 

There are 41 infectious disease journals indexed by ISI. Their impact factors may be found in JCR (Journal Citation Reports).
