%X Intra-abdominal infections (IAI) constitute a common reason for hospitalization. However, there is lack of standardization in empiric management of (1) anaerobes, (2) enterococci, (3) fungi, and (4) multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO). The recommendation is to institute empiric coverage for some of these organisms in ¡°high-risk community-acquired¡± or in ¡°healthcare-associated¡± infections (HCAI), but exact definitions are not provided
