Description: Arch Mainous, PhD, Claire Pomeroy, MD, and a panel of experienced physicians offer an eminently practical summary of the most effective evidence-based antimicrobial treatments encountered in both hospital and outpatient settings. Focusing on the clinical impact of appropriate diagnosis and treatment, the book emphasizes those newer aspects of infectious disease management necessitated by the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. It also discusses the major pathogens involved so that practicing clinicians will not only diagnose, but also better treat the infections and complications they cause. Multidisciplinary and highly practical, Management of Antimicrobials in Infectious Diseases: Impact of Antibiotic Resistance offers busy clinicians and nurse practitioners a comprehensive and informed guide to navigating the difficult treatment decisions created by the rising tide of antibiotic resistance today.
